Polyploidy is a mutation with profound phenotypic consequences and thus hypothesized to
have transformative effects in plant ecology. This is most often considered in the context of …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Polyploidy, the multiplication of chromosome sets above the diploid state, is arguably as
prevalent in plants as any other eukaryotic group. Over the past century, polyploidy has …

Background Most, if not all, green plant (Virdiplantae) species including angiosperms and
ferns are polyploids themselves or have ancient polyploid or whole genome duplication …

In this chapter some of the salient features of polyploidy in plants, including a brief
description of its prevalence and modes of formation are discussed. Several model systems …

Polyploidy as a dramatic mutational event in the process of evolution has wide implications
in nature and for the generation of new and improved crops. The three day Conference on …

Since Polyploidy has been recognized as a widespread and common phenomenon among
eukaryotes, particularly higher plants, biologists have been interested in possible causal …

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 …

Mixed-ploidy species harbor a unique form of genomic and phenotypic variation that
influences ecological interactions, facilitates genetic divergence, and offers insights into the …

Enormous strides have been made in the study of polyploidy over the last 20 yr. Here, we
highlight some of these discoveries and note where our understanding of polyploid …
