Allopolyploidization has been a driving force in plant evolution. Formation of common wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) represents a classic example of successful speciation via …

Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is recurrent in plant evolution, yet only a small
fraction of whole-genome duplications has led to successful speciation. A major challenge in …

Allopolyploidy has played a prominent role in organismal evolution, particularly in
angiosperms. Allohexaploidization is a critical step leading to the formation of common …

Bread wheat (or common wheat, Triticum aestivum) is an allohexaploid (AABBDD, 2n= 6x=
42) that arose by hybridization between a cultivated tetraploid wheat T. turgidum (AABB, 2n …

Recent studies have shown that allopolyploidy accelerates genome evolution in wheat in
two ways:(1) allopolyploidization triggers rapid genome changes (revolutionary changes) …

Background Alteration in gene expression resulting from allopolyploidization is a prominent
feature in plants, but its spectrum and extent are not fully known. Common wheat (Triticum …

Allopolyploidy accelerates genome evolution in wheat in two ways: 1) allopolyploidization
triggers rapid genome alterations (revolutionary changes) through the instantaneous …

Background Interaction between parental genomes is accompanied by global changes in
gene expression which, eventually, contributes to growth vigor and the broader phenotypic …

Nascent allohexaploid wheat may represent the initial genetic state of common wheat
(Triticum aestivum), which arose as a hybrid between Triticum turgidum (AABB) and …

The wheat group has evolved through allopolyploidization, namely, through hybridization
among species from the plant genera Aegilops and Triticum followed by genome doubling …
