To better understand genetic events that accompany allopolyploid formation, we studied the
rate and time of elimination of eight DNA sequences in F1 hybrids and newly formed …

Polyploidy is rarer in animals than in plants. Why? Since Muller's observation in 1925, many
hypotheses have been proposed and tested, but none were able to completely explain this …

Premise of the Study Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication (WGD), is common in plants
despite theory suggesting that polyploid establishment is challenging and polyploids should …

Polyploidy plays an important role in biological diversity, trait improvement, and plant
species survival. Understanding the evolutionary phenomenon of polyploidy is a key …

Polyploidy has long been recognized as a prominent force shaping the evolution of
eukaryotes, especially flowering plants. New phenotypes often arise with polyploid formation …

Background Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) is an important speciation mechanism,
particularly in plants. Gene loss, silencing, and the formation of novel gene complexes are …

Polyploidization is an abrupt speciation mechanism for eukaryotes and is especially
common in plants. However, little is known about patterns and mechanisms of gene …

Polyploidy, the presence of more than two chromosome sets, is rare in animals, but is wide
spread in plants. Polyploidy is believed to play an important role in speciation and …

Since early in the 20th century there has been debate over whether polyploidisation and
hybridisation are destructive or creative forces in evolution; this remains one of the …

Genome doubling, or polyploidy, is a major factor accounting for duplicate genes found in
most eukaryotic genomes. Polyploidy has considerable effects on duplicate gene …
