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 …

Polyploidy, resulting from the duplication of the entire genome of an organism or cell, greatly
affects genes and genomes, cells and tissues, organisms, and even entire ecosystems …

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 …

Habitat divergence plays a driving role in speciation. Severe environmental fluactuations
and/or stress may bring about unreduced gamete formation in germline or mitotic errors in …

The prevalence of polyploidy in wild and crop species has stimulated debate over its
evolutionary advantages and disadvantages. Previous studies have focused on changes …

Polyploidy is an intriguing phenomenon in plants that has provided an important pathway for
evolution and speciation. Although the first polyploid was discovered over a century ago, the …

Polyploidy, which arises from genome duplication, has occurred throughout the history of
eukaryotes, though it is especially common in plants. The resulting increased size …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD), which leads to polyploidy, is implicated in adaptation
and speciation. But what are the immediate effects of WGD and how do newly polyploid …

Polyploidy is a major evolutionary feature of many plants and some animals (Grant, 1981;
Otto & Whitton, 2000). Allopolyploids (eg wheat, cotton, and canola) were formed by …

Polyploidy in higher plants is a major source of genetic novelty upon which selection may
act to drive evolution, as evidenced by the widespread success of polyploid species in the …
