Polyploidy is a very common phenomenon in the plant kingdom, where even diploid species
are often described as paleopolyploids. The polyploid condition may bring about several …

Polyploidy, or the presence of two or more diploid parental genome sets within an organism,
is found to an amazing degree in higher plants. In addition, many plant species traditionally …

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 …

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 …

Almost all extant plant species have doubled their genomes at least once in their
evolutionary histories, resulting in polyploidy which provided a rich genomic resource for …

Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, is recognized as an important feature of eukaryotic
genome evolution. Among eukaryotes, polyploidy has probably had the largest evolutionary …

Polyploidy plays an important role in biological diversity, trait improvement, and plant
species survival. Understanding the evolutionary phenomenon of polyploidy is a key …

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 …

During the past decade, molecular techniques have provided a wealth of data that have
facilitated the resolution of several controversial questions in polyploid evolution. Herein we …

This is the first book to present consolidated, up-to-date information regarding recent trends
and future perspectives of polyploidy–a phenomenon that has played a pivotal role in the …
