Abstract Suaeda subg. Brezia (Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae) comprises~ 45 halophytic
species distributed worldwide along coastlines and in saline inland habitats. Thirteen …

Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk) is an essential green leafy vegetable in Asia. In this
study, we induced autotetraploid water spinach by colchicine. Furthermore, DNA methylation …

Polyploidy induction has been used as a strategy to select new clones, potentially
increasing the genetic progress obtained by eucalypt breeding in Brazil. Genetic variation …

Background Gene flow and polyploidy have been found to be important in Juniperus
evolution. However, little evidence has been published elucidating the association of both …

Giant reed (Arundo donax L.) is a C3 perennial, warm‐season, rhizomatous grass of
emerging interest for bioenergy and biomass derivatives production, and for …

Polyploidization, which is expected to trigger major genomic reorganizations, occurs much
less commonly in animals than in plants, possibly because of constraints imposed by sex …

Mobile DNA in the genome is subject to RNA-targeted epigenetic control. This control
regulates the activity of transposons, retrotransposons and genomic proviruses. Many …

Key message Unreduced gametes. Abstract The absence of a strict pachytene checkpoint in
plants presents an opportunity to study meiosis in polyhaploid organisms. In the present …

Contemporary speciation provides a unique opportunity to directly observe the traits and
environmental responses of a new species. Cardamine insueta is an allotriploid species that …

Alien introgression breeding is an attractive approach to recover genetic variation that was
lost during wheat domestication and breeding. New alleles and genes may be introduced …
