Polyploidy, which arises from genome duplication, has occurred throughout the history of
eukaryotes, though it is especially common in plants. The resulting increased size …

Speciation via hybridization and polyploidization is a major evolutionary force in plant
evolution but is still poorly understood for neopolyploid groups. Challenges are attributed to …

Many species, including most flowering plants, are polyploid, possessing multiple genomes.
During polyploidisation, fertility is preserved via the evolution of mechanisms to control the …

Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …

The long-term evolutionary impacts of whole-genome duplication (WGD) are strongly
influenced by the ensuing rediploidization process. Following autopolyploidization …

Some of the largest impacts of climate change are expected in the environmentally
heterogeneous and species rich high mountain ecosystems. Among those, the Neotropical …

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

Plant cytogenetic studies have provided essential knowledge on chromosome behavior
during meiosis, contributing to our understanding of this complex process. In this review, we …

In the past, breeding for incorporation of insect pest resistance or tolerance into cultivars for
use in integrated pest management schemes in oilseed rape/canola (Brassica napus) …

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 …
