Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Polyploidy (or whole-genome duplication) is the condition of having more than two basic
sets of chromosomes. Polyploidization is well tolerated in many species and can lead to …

Hybridization and its consequences have been of longstanding interest to evolutionary
biologists. Darwin (1859) included a chapter on hybrids and the expression and causes of …

Allopolyploidy is a prevalent process in plants, having important physiological, ecological
and evolutionary consequences. Transcriptomic responses to genomic merger and doubling …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

The establishment and success of polyploids are thought to often be facilitated by ecological
niche differentiation from diploids. Unfortunately, most studies compared diploids and …

Polyploidy has been observed throughout major eukaryotic clades and has played a vital
role in the evolution of angiosperms. Recent polyploidizations often result in highly complex …

Co-expression networks have been shown to be a powerful tool for inferring a gene's
function when little is known about it. With the advent of next generation sequencing …

Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon throughout eukaryotes. Due to the coexistence of
duplicated genomes, polyploids offer unique challenges for estimating gene expression …

The doubling of the plant genome causes obvious morphological and physiological
changes, and DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mCs) modification is a key epigenetic component …
