Hybridization and polyploidization are major forces in plant evolution and potatoes are not
an exception. It is proposed that the proliferation of Long Terminal Repeat-retrotransposons …

Polyploidy is a significant evolutionary process in plants that involves the duplication of
genomic content and has been recognized as a key mechanism driving plant diversification …

Interspecific hybridization leads to new interactions among divergent genomes, revealing
the nature of genetic incompatibilities having accumulated during and after the origin of …

Changes in chromosome numbers, including polyploidy and dysploidy events, play a key
role in eukaryote evolution as they could expediate reproductive isolation and have the …

Polyploidy, the state of having more than two full sets of chromosomes, has been
hypothesized to provide several evolutionary advantages to flowering plants including …

Polyploidization plays an important role in plant adaption to adverse environments, but the
mechanism by which polyploidization confers adaptation to cold stress remains elusive …

Gene expression dynamics is a key component of polyploid evolution, varying in nature,
intensity, and temporal scales, most particularly in allopolyploids, where two or more sub …

Transposable elements (TE s) are expectedly central to genome evolution. To assess the
impact of TE s in driving genome turnover, we used allopolyploid genomes, showing …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: After decades of interest, the contribution of hybridization to
ecological diversification remains unclear. Hybridization is a potent source of novelty, but …

Aim Speciation can either proceed as gradual divergence, mostly in allopatry or parapatry,
or by duplication of chromosome sets: polyploidization. Hybrid‐origin or allopolyploidization …
