Genome restructuring in plants occurs as a result of evolutionary pressures, hybridization, polyploidy, and environmental stressors. Events like gene duplication, chromosomal rearrangements, and transposable element activity contribute to the dynamic nature of plant genomes. Such restructuring enables plants to adapt to diverse environments by creating new gene functions and regulatory mechanisms. Polyploidy, for example, has led to increased genetic diversity and resilience in species like wheat and cotton. Studying genome restructuring helps scientists understand how plants evolve and can guide strategies to enhance genetic diversity in crop improvement programs.
