Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) has played a perva sive role in the evolution of fungi
and animals, and is partic ularly prominent in plants (Wendel & Doyle, 2005; Cui et al, 2006; …

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

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

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 played a significant role in the origin and evolution of many plant species. The
primary phylogenetic effect of polyploidy is to stabilize selected hybrid genotypes. It also …

Polyploidization, the addition of a complete set of chromosomes to the genome, represents
one of the most dramatic mutations known to occur. Nevertheless, polyploidy is well …

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, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

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