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 …

Background Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is now recognized as being present in
almost all lineages of higher plants, with multiple rounds of polyploidy occurring in most …

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 …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plants and has been significant in the evolutionary
history of vertebrates and other eukaryotes. In plants, interdisciplinary approaches …

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

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

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, the condition of possessing more than two complete genomes in a cell, has
intrigued biologists for almost a century. Polyploidy is found in many plants and some animal …

Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than 2 complete chromosome sets in the same
