To reveal the impact of genome duplication as a consequence of hybridization, we studied the genome and transcriptome dynamics upon two independent V. longisporum hybridization events, represented by the hybrid lineages “A1/D1” and “A1/D3.” We show that V. longisporum genomes are characterized by extensive chromosomal rearrangements, including between parental chromosomal sets. V. longisporum hybrids display signs of evolutionary dynamics that are typically associated with the aftermath of allodiploidization, such as haploidization and more relaxed gene evolution. The expression patterns of the two subgenomes within the two hybrid lineages are more similar than those of the shared A1 parent between the two lineages, showing that the expression patterns of the parental genomes homogenized within a lineage.

ABSTRACT Hybridization is an important evolutionary mechanism that can enable organisms to adapt to environmental challenges. It has previously been shown that the fungal allodiploid species Verticillium longisporum, the causal agent of verticillium stem striping in rapeseed, originated from at least three independent hybridization events between two haploid Verticillium species. To reveal the impact of genome duplication as a consequence of hybridization, we studied the genome and transcriptome dynamics upon two independent V. longisporum hybridization events, represented by the hybrid lineages “A1/D1” and “A1/D3.” We show that V. longisporum genomes are characterized by extensive chromosomal rearrangements, including between parental chromosomal sets.
