Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation that can have far‐reaching consequences for
plant ecology and evolution. Because polyploidy can induce an array of phenotypic …

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is an important genomic feature for all
eukaryotes, especially many plants and some animals. The common occurrence of …

Incompatible gene or chromosomal combinations brought together in allopolyploid
genomes cannot be purged through Mendelian segregation. But recent studies suggest that …

Despite the importance of polyploidy and the increasing availability of new genomic data,
there remain important gaps in our knowledge of polyploid population genetics. These gaps …

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

The papers that have been presented at the present synposium provide in themselves
ample evidence that problems connected with Polyploidy are of prime importance for …

Hybridization and polyploidization are now recognized as major phenomena in the
evolution of plants, promoting genetic diversity, adaptive radiation and speciation. Modern …

The evolutionary fate of polyploids (especially plants) immediately following their formation
has recently received renewed attention by several research groups. An increasing body of …

The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

All else being equal, polyploids are expected to have larger C-values (amount of DNA in the
unreplicated gametic nucleus) than their diploid progenitors, increasing in direct proportion …
