Polyploidy played a significant role in the origin and evolution of many plant species. The
primary phylogenetic effect of polyploidy is to stabilize selected hybrid genotypes. It also …

Polyploidy is widely acknowledged as a major mechanism of adaptation and speciation in
plants. Recent estimates suggest that 70% of all angiosperms have experienced one or …

Polyploidy has played a major role in the evolution of many eukaryotes. Recent studies have
dramatically reshaped views of polyploid evolution, demonstrating that most polyploid …

During the past decade, molecular techniques have provided a wealth of data that have
facilitated the resolution of several controversial questions in polyploid evolution. Herein we …

In this chapter some of the salient features of polyploidy in plants, including a brief
description of its prevalence and modes of formation are discussed. Several model systems …

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 is an intriguing phenomenon in plants that has provided an important pathway for
evolution and speciation. Although the first polyploid was discovered over a century ago, the …

Polyploidy in populations of well-differentiated plant species is now widely recognized (1, 2).
Most reports, however, are limited to a few individuals from one or several populations and …

Polyploidy, or the presence of two or more diploid parental genome sets within an organism,
is found to an amazing degree in higher plants. In addition, many plant species traditionally …
