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

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 …

Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than 2 complete chromosome sets in the same
nucleus, is frequent in nature and has implications for a species' prospects for evolution …

Polyploidy is produced by multiplication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or combination
of two or more divergent genomes (allopolyploid). The available data obtained from the …

Perhaps all flowering plants have experienced one or more episodes of polyploidization at
some time in their evolutionary history. Recent evidence indicates that this genome doubling …

Allopolyploid speciation is widespread in plants, yet the molecular requirements for
successful orchestration of coordinated gene expression for two divergent and reunited …

Highlights•Polyploidy is a common evolutionary feature in all eukaryotes especially in
plants.•Ploidy and intergenomic hybridization induce genetic and epigenetic changes.•DNA …

Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,
pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous …

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 …

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 …
