Recent advances in the genomics of polyploid species answer some of the long-standing
questions about the role of polyploidy in crop species. Here, we summarize the current …

The prevalence of polyploidy in wild and crop species has stimulated debate over its
evolutionary advantages and disadvantages. Previous studies have focused on changes …

Polyploidy complicates transcriptional regulation and increases phenotypic diversity in
organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident …

The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

Abstract Background Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important cereal crop. Increasing
grain yield for wheat is always a priority. Due to the complex genome of hexaploid wheat …

Polyploidy provides an opportunity for evolutionary innovation and species diversification,
especially under stressful conditions. In allopolyploids, the conditional dynamics of …

Background Poa annua (annual bluegrass) is an allotetraploid turfgrass, an agronomically
significant weed, and one of the most widely dispersed plant species on earth. Here, we …

Bread wheat is a major crop that has long been the focus of basic and breeding research.
Assembly of its genome has been difficult because of its large size and allohexaploid nature …
