Main conclusion This article provides an up-to-date review concerning from basic issues of
polyploidy to aspects regarding the relevance and role of both natural and artificial …

We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant
genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations:(1) that …

Polyploidy often confers emergent properties, such as the higher fibre productivity and
quality of tetraploid cottons than diploid cottons bred for the same environments. Here we …

Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

In the long evolutionary history, plant has evolved elaborate regulatory network to control
functional gene expression for surviving and thriving, such as transcription factor‐regulated …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plants and has been significant in the evolutionary
history of vertebrates and other eukaryotes. In plants, interdisciplinary approaches …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …
