All natural plant species are evolved from ancient polyploids. Polyloidization plays an
important role in plant genome evolution, species divergence and crop domestication. We …

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 …

The prevalence of polyploidy among flowering plants is surprising given the hurdles
impeding the establishment and persistence of novel polyploid lineages. In the absence of …

Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication; WGD) is common in plants and has long been
considered as both an important speciation mechanism and a crucial component of plant …

Genome doubling, or polyploidy, is a major factor accounting for duplicate genes found in
most eukaryotic genomes. Polyploidy has considerable effects on duplicate gene …

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 …

Whole-genome duplication (polyploidisation) is a widespread mechanism of speciation in
plants. Over time, polyploid genomes tend towards a more diploid-like state, through …

Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Polyploidy plays an important role in biological diversity, trait improvement, and plant
species survival. Understanding the evolutionary phenomenon of polyploidy is a key …

Polyploidy is an important force shaping plant genomes. All flowering plants are
descendants of an ancestral polyploid species, and up to 70% of extant vascular plant …
