Homoeologous exchanges, segmental allopolyploidy, and polyploid genome evolution
Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,

On the relative abundance of autopolyploids and allopolyploids
The prevalence of autopolyploids in angiosperms has long been a subject of debate.
Müntzing (1936) and Darlington (1937) concluded that autopolyploids were common and …
