Special issue: Polyploidy and evolution
Cover Caption: Whole genome multiplication (WGM) is an important factor in the evolution of many plant groups. In this issue, Conover et al.

Examination of pairwise synonymous distances within each genome suggests at least one WGM in the ancestry of all subfamilies except Grewioideae (Corchorus), Byttnerioideae (Theobroma), and Dombeyoideae (Dombeya).
