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

Polyploidy is an evolutionary process whereby two or more genomes are brought together
into the same nucleus, usually by hybridization followed by chromosome doubling. As a …

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 …

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

McGrath et al., 2014; Scienski et al., 2015) revealed that many eukaryotes do indeed have a
polyploid ancestry. Although there have been recent debates on the average fate of …

Autopolyploidy is more common in plants than traditionally assumed, but has received little
attention compared with allopolyploidy. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of …

Polyploidy has been widely appreciated as an important force in the evolution of plant
genomes, but now it is recognized as a common phenomenon throughout eukaryotic …

Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication, WGD) is an integral feature of eukaryotic evolution
with two main forms typically recognized, autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy. In plants, a …

Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …
