Allopolyploids result from hybridization between different evolutionary lineages coupled with
genome doubling. Homoeologous chromosomes (chromosomes with common shared …

Polyploidization is a widespread phenomenon, especially in flowering plants that have all
undergone at least one event of whole genome duplication during their evolutionary history …

Background A high-throughput genotyping platform is needed to enable marker-assisted
breeding in the allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria× ananassa. Short-read …

Allopolyploidy is an important process in plant speciation, yet newly formed allopolyploid
species typically suffer from extreme genetic bottlenecks. One escape from this impasse …

Recombination between homeologous chromosomes, also known as homeologous
exchange (HE), plays a significant role in shaping genome structure and gene expression in …

Structural variation is a major source of genetic diversity and an important substrate for
selection. In allopolyploids, homoeologous exchanges (ie between the constituent …

Coffee species such as Coffea canephora P.(Robusta) and C. arabica L.(Arabica) are
important cash crops in tropical regions around the world. C. arabica is an allotetraploid …

Coffee is an important crop that provides a livelihood to millions of people living in
developing countries. Production of genotypes with improved coffee quality attributes is a …

Agricultural selection of desirable traits in domesticated plant and animal species mimics
natural evolutionary selection for ability of species to survive, thrive, and reproduce in the …

Interspecific hybridization events have played a major role in plant speciation, yet the
evolutionary origin of hybrid species often remains enigmatic. Here, we inferred the …
