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 …

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 …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

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 …

Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …

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 …

Polyploidy is important in the evolutionary history of plants, and it has played a crucial role in
shaping the genome structures of all eukaryotes. New and rapidly improving techniques in …

Background Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is now recognized as being present in
almost all lineages of higher plants, with multiple rounds of polyploidy occurring in most …

Polyploidy as a dramatic mutational event in the process of evolution has wide implications
in nature and for the generation of new and improved crops. The three day Conference on …

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