Polyploidy is a conspicuous feature of chromosomal evolution in higher plants. Stebbins (1)
estimates that between 30 and 35 percent of flowering plant species have gametic …

Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication, WGD) is an integral feature of eukaryotic evolution
with two main forms typically recognized, autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy. In plants, a …

Studies of the macroevolutionary legacy of polyploidy are limited by an incomplete sampling
of these events across the tree of life. To better locate and understand these events, we …

Recent years have seen rapid advances in our knowledge of the transcriptomic
consequences of allopolyploidy, primarily through the study of polyploid crops and model …

Abstract Background and Aims Polyploidy is arguably the single most important genetic
mechanism in plant speciation and diversification. It has been repeatedly suggested that …
