Potato is one of the world's major staple crops, and like many important crop plants, it has a
polyploid genome. Polyploid haplotype assembly poses a major computational challenge …

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid with closely related subgenomes
of a total size of∼ 2.7 Gb. This makes the assembly of chromosomal pseudomolecules very …

Background Polyploidy can result in genetic bottlenecks, especially for species of
monophyletic origin. Cultivated peanut is an allotetraploid harbouring limited genetic …

Wild potato (Solanum L. sect. Petota Dumort.) species contain diploids (2 n= 2 x= 24) to
hexaploids (2 n= 6 x= 72). JG Hawkes classified all hexaploid Mexican species in series …

Polyploidization is a well‐known speciation and adaptation mechanism. Traces of former
polyploidization events were discovered within many genomes, and especially in plants …

Most plant species are known to be either ancient or recent polyploids, containing more than
one genome as a result of past interspecific hybridization events (allopolyploidy) and/or …

Background Recent genomic studies have drastically altered our knowledge of polyploid
evolution. Wild potatoes (Solanum section Petota) are a highly diverse and economically …

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) represent an important tuber crop, worldwide. During its
prolonged clonal propagation, numerous deleterious mutations have accumulated in the …

Polyploidy, the possession of multiple sets of chromosomes, has been a predominant factor
in the evolution and success of the angiosperms. Although artificially formed allopolyploids …

Polyploidy is widely acknowledged as a major mechanism of adaptation and speciation in
plants. Recent estimates suggest that 70% of all angiosperms have experienced one or …
