Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …

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 is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

Polyploidization has played a key role in plant breeding and crop improvement. Although its
potential to increase biomass yield is well described, the effect of polyploidization on …

Ploidy and size phenomena are observed to be correlated across several biological scales,
from subcellular to organismal. Two kinds of ploidy change can affect plants. Whole-genome …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

The diversity of venomous organisms and the toxins they produce have been increasingly
investigated, but taxonomic bias remains important. Neogastropods, a group of marine …

Deserts exert strong selection pressures on plants, but the underlying genomic drivers of
ecological adaptation and subsequent speciation remain largely unknown. Here, we …

Wood formation is a complex developmental process under multi-level transcriptional
control executed by a large set of transcription factors. However, only limited members have …

Background Along with global warming, resulting in crop production, exacerbating the
global food crisis. Therefore, it is urgent to study the mechanism of plant heat resistance …
