Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) has played a perva sive role in the evolution of fungi
and animals, and is partic ularly prominent in plants (Wendel & Doyle, 2005; Cui et al, 2006; …

Habitat divergence plays a driving role in speciation. Severe environmental fluactuations
and/or stress may bring about unreduced gamete formation in germline or mitotic errors in …

Polyploidy is a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. The profound effects of
polyploidy on gene expression appear to be caused more by hybridity than by genome …

Genomic evidence of ancestral whole genome duplication (WGD) and polyploidy is
widespread among eukaryotic species, and especially among plants. WGD is thought to …

Elucidating the causes and consequences of polyploidy (whole-genome duplication; WGD)
is arguably central to understanding the evolution of most eukaryotic lineages. However …

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 …

Polyploidy contributes massively to the taxonomic and genomic diversity of angiosperms,
but certain aspects of polyploid evolution are still enigmatic. The establishment of a new …

The role of polyploidy in the origin of evolutionary novelty and the maintenance of diversity
in plant populations has come to be recognized as an integral component of the ecological …

Polyploidy is a conspicuous feature of chromosomal evolution in higher plants. Stebbins (1)
estimates that between 30 and 35 percent of flowering plant species have gametic …

'The effects of this process have been so far-reaching, and it is so widespread, that anyone
who would have a real understanding of species interrelationships and species evolution in …
