Genome size evolution is a dynamic process involving counterbalancing mechanisms
whose actions vary across lineages and over time. Whereas the primary mechanism of …

Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …

Allopolyploidy is an important process during plant evolution that results in the reunion of
two divergent genomes into a common nucleus. Many of the immediate as well as longer …

Structural variation is a major source of genetic diversity and an important substrate for
selection. In allopolyploids, homoeologous exchanges (ie between the constituent …

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, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

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

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

Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than two complete genomes in a cell, has
intrigued biologists for almost a century. Polyploidy is found in many plants and some animal …
