Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

The occurrence of polyploidy in land plant evolution has led to an acceleration of genome
modifications relative to other crown eukaryotes and is correlated with key innovations in …

Polyploidy is a very common phenomenon in the plant kingdom, where even diploid species
are often described as paleopolyploids. The polyploid condition may bring about several …

Polyploidy is a common event in plants that involves the acquisition of more than two
complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidy originates from interspecies hybrids while …

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

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 …

Polyploidization is a widespread phenomenon, especially in flowering plants that have all
undergone at least one event of whole genome duplication during their evolutionary history …

Background Allopolyploid speciation requires rapid evolutionary reconciliation of two
diverged genomes and gene regulatory networks. Here we describe global patterns of gene …

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 …

Habitat divergence plays a driving role in speciation. Severe environmental fluactuations
and/or stress may bring about unreduced gamete formation in germline or mitotic errors in …
