Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

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 …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

Deciphering the global distribution of polyploid plants is fundamental for understanding
plant evolution and ecology. Many factors have been hypothesized to affect the uneven …

Nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) availability can limit growth of primary producers across
most of the world's aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These constraints are commonly …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Reproductive isolation in plants occurs through multiple barriers that restrict gene flow
between populations, but their origins remain uncertain. Work in the past decade has shown …

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

Mixed-ploidy species harbor a unique form of genomic and phenotypic variation that
influences ecological interactions, facilitates genetic divergence, and offers insights into the …

An unintended consequence of global change is an increase in opportunities for
hybridization among previously isolated lineages. Here we illustrate how global change can …
