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 …

Polyploidy has contributed to the divergence and domestication of plants; however,
estimation of the relative roles that different types of polyploidy have played during evolution …

Advances in recent years have revolutionized our understanding of both the context and
occurrence of polyploidy in plants. Molecular phylogenetics has vastly improved our …

Many plants are allopolyploids with different nuclear genomes from two or more progenitors,
but cytoplasmic genomes typically inherited from the female parent. The importance of this …

Background Polyploidization is the multiplication of the whole chromosome complement and
has occurred frequently in vascular plants. Maintenance of stable polyploid state over …

Polyploidization influences the genetic composition and gene expression of an organism.
This multi‐level genetic change allows the formation of new regulatory pathways leading to …

Whole-genome duplication (polyploidy) occurs frequently and repeatedly within species of
plants. According to the source of the genomes giving origin to a polyploid plant species …

Polyploidy is a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. The profound effects of
polyploidy on gene expression appear to be caused more by hybridity than by genome …
