Diploid and polyploid species derived from the euploid series x= 11 occur in the genus
Psidium, as well as intraspecific cytotypes. Euploidy in the genus can alter the gene copy …

Polyploidy is a phenomenon that alters the genetic diversity of populations and has been
reported as one of the most important evolutionary forces for plant diversification. The …

Polyploidy is a ubiquitous process in angiosperms, arising from autopolyploidy or
allopolyploidy. However, few natural polyploid complexes in tropical regions have been well …

Oceanic archipelagos are known to host a variety of endemic plant species. The genetic
diversity and structure of these species are important indicators of their evolutionary history …
