Whole genome duplication (WGD), which gives rise to polyploids, is a unique type of
mutation that duplicates all the genetic material in a genome. WGD provides an evolutionary …

In 1950, G. Ledyard Stebbins devoted two chapters of his book Variation and Evolution in
Plants (Columbia Univ. Press, New York) to polyploidy, one on occurrence and nature and …

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 …

Polyploid organisms carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition rarely
tolerated in animals but which occurs relatively frequently in the plant kingdom. One of the …

Polyploidy as a dramatic mutational event in the process of evolution has wide implications

During the past decade there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in polyploidy
that has in large part been stimulated by the development of increasingly powerful genetic …

The last decade highlighted polyploidy as a rampant evolutionary process that triggers
drastic genome reorganization, but much remains to be understood about their causes and …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
