Plant cytogenetic studies have provided essential knowledge on chromosome behavior
during meiosis, contributing to our understanding of this complex process. In this review, we …

Polyploidization is a widespread phenomenon, especially in flowering plants that have all
undergone at least one event of whole genome duplication during their evolutionary history …

Meiosis is an obligate process during sexual reproduction, which involves the combination
of parental genomes and the coordinated segregation of the recombined chromosomes to …

Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than 2 complete chromosome sets in the same
nucleus, is frequent in nature and has implications for a species' prospects for evolution …

Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations.
Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the …

Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …

Polyploidy, which arises from genome duplication, has occurred throughout the history of
eukaryotes, though it is especially common in plants. The resulting increased size …

Whole genome duplication is a prominent feature of many highly evolved organisms,
especially plants. When duplications occur within species, they yield genomes comprising …

Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life
cycles. In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other …

Meiosis is the specialized eukaryotic cell division that permits the halving of ploidy
necessary for gametogenesis in sexually reproducing organisms. This involves a single …
