About Andrew R Leitch

Andrew R Leitch, With an exceptional h-index of 73 and a recent h-index of 37 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Queen Mary University of London, specializes in the field of Plant genomcis, polyploidy, interspecific hybridisation, evolutionary processes, telomere biology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

The genome sequence of rosebay willowherb Chamaenerion angustifolium (L.) Scop., 1771 (syn. Epilobium angustifolium L., 1753) (Onagraceae)

Intragenomic rDNA variation-the product of concerted evolution, mutation, or something in between?

“BIFloraExplorer”: A Taxonomic, Genetic, and Ecological Data Resource for the Vascular Plants of Britain and Ireland

Giant ferns show complex evolution patterns: A case study in the genus Tmesipteris (Psilotaceae)

The role of chromatin modifications in the evolution of giant plant genomes

Giant Fern Genomes Show Complex Evolution Patterns: A Comparative Analysis in Two Species of Tmesipteris (Psilotaceae)

Down, then up: non-parallel genome size changes and a descending chromosome series in a recent radiation of the Australian allotetraploid plant species, Nicotiana section …

Is hybridisation with non‐native congeneric species a threat to the UK native bluebell Hyacinthoides non‐scripta?
