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 …

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, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Whole genome duplication (WGD), which gives rise to polyploids, is a unique type of
mutation that duplicates all the genetic material in a genome. WGD provides an evolutionary …

Polyploidy, the multiplication of chromosome sets above the diploid state, is arguably as
prevalent in plants as any other eukaryotic group. Over the past century, polyploidy has …

Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, is recognized as an important feature of eukaryotic
genome evolution. Among eukaryotes, polyploidy has probably had the largest evolutionary …

Polyploidy is a pervasive and recurring phenomenon across the tree of life, which occurred
at variable time scales, ecological amplitudes and cell types, and is especially prominent in …

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 …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plants and has been significant in the evolutionary
history of vertebrates and other eukaryotes. In plants, interdisciplinary approaches …

Deciphering the global distribution of polyploid plants is fundamental for understanding
plant evolution and ecology. Many factors have been hypothesized to affect the uneven …
