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

Polyploids, which arise from whole-genome duplication events, have contributed to genome
evolution throughout eukaryotes. Among plants, novel features of neopolyploids include …

Abstract Resynthesized rapeseed lines (2 n= 4 x= 38, AACC), which recreate the historical
hybridization between progenitor species Brassica rapa (2 n= 2 x= 20, AA) and B. oleracea …

Allopolyploidization may initiate rapid evolution due to heritable karyotypic changes. The
types and extents of these changes, the underlying causes, and their effects on phenotype …

Newly formed plant allopolyploids usually have meiosis defect, resulting in chromosomal
instability manifested as variation in chromosome number and/or structure. However, not all …

Abstract “Synthetic” allopolyploids recreated by interspecific hybridization play an important
role in providing novel genomic variation for crop improvement. Such synthetic …

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) may occur in newly formed polyploids due to
compromised meiotic fidelity. Moreover, CRs can be more readily tolerated in polyploids …

Polyploidy is defined as having more than two sets of chromosomes, and it has long been
recognized as a major driver of plant evolution and speciation. A creature with more than …

Transcription and alternative splicing (AS) are now appreciated in plants, but few studies
have examined the effects of changing ploidy on transcription and AS. In this study, we …

Polyploidization is a driving force in plant evolution. Chromosomal variation often occurs at
early generations following polyploid formation due to meiotic pairing irregularity that may …
