Neo-tetraploid Arabidopsis thaliana have elevated leaf potassium (K) driven by processes within the root. The root transcriptome of neo-tetraploids is distinct from diploids, with evidence of altered K homeostasis. Mutational analysis revealed that the canonical K-uptake transporters AKT1 and HAK5 are not required for this elevated leaf K in neo-tetraploids, while the endodermis, root hairs, and SOS signaling are. Contrasting the root transcriptomes of neo-tetraploids and diploids of mutants that block the neo-tetraploid K phenotype, allowed us to identify 91 differentially expressed genes associated with elevated leaf K in neo-tetraploids. This set of genes connects WGD to elevated leaf K, and is enriched in functions such as cell wall and Casparian strip development, and ion-transport, in the endodermis, root hairs, and procambium. This gene set provides tools to test the intriguing idea of recreating the physiological effects of WGD within a diploid genome.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
