Hybridization and polyploidization are important processes for plant evolution. However,
classification of hybrid or polyploid species has been notoriously difficult because of the …

Abstract Background Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) has long been
consumed for its unique flavor and composition of health-promoting phytonutrients …

Genome duplication with hybridization, or allopolyploidization, occurs in animals, fungi and
plants, and is especially common in crop plants. There is an increasing interest in the study …

Polyploidy is an important evolutionary mechanism and is prevalent among land plants.
Most polyploid species examined have multiple origins, which provide genetic diversity and …

Allopolyploidization entailing the merger of two distinct genomes in a single hybrid
organism, is an important process in plant evolution and a valuable tool in breeding …

Although allopolyploid species are common among natural and crop species, it is not easy
to distinguish duplicated genes, known as homeologs, during their genomic analysis. Yet …

Gene expression dynamics is a key component of polyploid evolution, varying in nature,
intensity, and temporal scales, most particularly in allopolyploids, where two or more sub …

Polyploidy is an important evolutionary force, yet epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA
methylation, that regulate genome‐wide expression of duplicated genes remain largely …

Polyploidy is an important evolutionary process throughout eukaryotes, particularly in
flowering plants. Duplicated gene pairs (homoeologs) in allopolyploids provide additional …

Abstract Background and Aims Allopolyploidization is a widespread phenomenon known to
generate novel phenotypes by merging evolutionarily distinct parental genomes and …
