Recent work has demonstrated that allopolyploid speciation in plants may be associated
with non-Mendelian genomic changes in the early generations following polyploid …

Polyploid formation and processes that create partial genomic duplication generate
redundant genomic information, whose fate is of particular interest to evolutionary biologists …

Whole-genome duplication (polyploidization) is among the most dramatic mutational
processes in nature, so understanding how natural selection differs in polyploids relative to …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plant evolution; yet few data address the question of
whether homeologous sequences evolve independently subsequent to polyploidization. We …

A detailed restriction fragment length polymorphism map was used to determine the
chromosomal locations and subgenomic distributions of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Background Polyploidy has played a prominent role in shaping the genomic architecture of
the angiosperms. Through allopolyploidization, several modern Gossypium (cotton) species …

Here, we describe the evolution of gene expression among a diversified cohort of five
allopolyploid species in the cotton genus (Gossypium). Using this phylogenetic framework …

Most eukaryotes have undergone genome doubling at least once during their evolutionary
history. Hybridization followed by genome doubling (allopolyploidization) is a prominent …

Polyploidy, a state in which the chromosome complement has undergone an increase, is a
major force in evolution. Understanding the consequences of polyploidy has received much …

Polyploidy is a major creative force in plant evolution, from ferns to flowering plants.
Estimates suggest that B70% of flowering plants have undergone at least one whole …
