LGT acts synergistically with crossing over and gene conversion to enhance evolvability of polyploids. a In 6-ploids, moderately frequent crossing over (R cross = 1) is detrimental (6-ploid-crossing1), and moderately frequent LGT (R lgt = 0.2) is virtually useless (6-ploid-lgt02). In combination, however, these two processes rescue the population (6-ploid-lgt02-crossing1). The same is true for the combination of LGT and gene conversion b Other parameters and designations as in Fig. 1
