Plants with higher ploidy within endoreduplicated cells grew faster after herbivory, leading to increased fitness. Thus, although polyploids might not be able to escape their herbivores, whole-genome duplication may afford a mechanism that allows polyploids to compensate for herbivore damage.

These results suggest that, at least for some plant taxa, the evolution of polyploidy may produce non-uniform eĦects on interactions with insect herbivores.

Plant polyploidy therefore provides a potential route out of specialization as an evolutionary dead end in phytophagous insect taxa.
Multiple origins of polyploidy also presents the opportunity for new or different plant-insect interactions among independent polyploid lineages. These ...
Yet, little is known about how plant polyploidization has shaped the ecology and evolution of interactions between phytophagous insects and their hosts.
