Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Polyploidy or duplication of an entire genome occurs in the majority of angiosperms. The
understanding of polyploid genomes is important for the improvement of those crops, which …

Background Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is now recognized as being present in
almost all lineages of higher plants, with multiple rounds of polyploidy occurring in most …

Polyploidy is a pervasive and recurring phenomenon across the tree of life, which occurred
at variable time scales, ecological amplitudes and cell types, and is especially prominent in …

The prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in plant species make it one of the most
important evolutionary events in plants, and as a result, polyploidization is an extensively …

Polyploidy or whole genome duplication (WGD) occurs throughout the evolutionary history
of many plants and some animals, including crops such as wheat, cotton, and sugarcane …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (wholegenome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a discussion of recent advancements, in context
to plant polyploidy. Polyploidy plays a very important role in plant evolution. Major recent …

All crop plants are polyploid and some genomes have been duplicated more recently than
others. Advancements in cytogenetic and molecular tools, including highdensity genetic …
