Polyploidization, the addition of a complete set of chromosomes to the genome, represents
one of the most dramatic mutations known to occur. Nevertheless, polyploidy is well …

Background Most, if not all, green plant (Virdiplantae) species including angiosperms and
ferns are polyploids themselves or have ancient polyploid or whole genome duplication …

Polyploidy is a major evolutionary feature of many plants and some animals (Grant, 1981;
Otto & Whitton, 2000). Allopolyploids (eg wheat, cotton, and canola) were formed by …

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 …

Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary process whereby two or more genomes are brought together
into the same nucleus, usually by hybridization followed by chromosome doubling. As a …

Genome doubling (polyploidy) has been and continues to be a pervasive force in plant
evolution. Modern plant genomes harbor evidence of multiple rounds of past …

It is well known that polyploidy is a major force in evolution, particularly in plants. Perhaps
50% of all angiosperms are of polyploid origin; estimates for the ferns and fern allies range …

Polyploidy is a mutation with profound phenotypic consequences and thus hypothesized to
have transformative effects in plant ecology. This is most often considered in the context of …
