Polyploidy is an important feature of plant genomes, but the nature of many polyploidization
events remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the evolutionary fates of the …

Polyploidy (alias whole genome amplification) refers to organisms containing more than two
basic sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy was first observed in plants more than a century ago …

Although polyploidy has been involved in speciation in both animals and plants, the general
perception is often that it is too rare to have been a significant factor in animal evolution and …

Gene duplication is postulated to have played a major role in the evolution of biological
novelty. Here, gene duplication is examined across levels of biological organization in an …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

Although gene duplication has generally been viewed as a necessary source of material for
the origin of evolutionary novelties, the rates of origin, loss, and preservation of gene …

Polyploidy (the more than doubling of a cell's genome) frequently arises during
organogenesis, tissue repair, and age-associated diseases. Despite its prevalence, major …

Polyploidy is produced by multiplication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or combination
of two or more divergent genomes (allopolyploid). The available data obtained from the …

Background Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) is an important speciation mechanism,
particularly in plants. Gene loss, silencing, and the formation of novel gene complexes are …
