Polyploidy is important in the evolutionary history of plants, and it has played a crucial role in
shaping the genome structures of all eukaryotes. New and rapidly improving techniques in …

Plant cytogenetics has continued to flourish and make essential contributions to genomics
projects by delineating marker order, defining contig gaps and revealing genome …

Chromosomal inversions have the potential to play an important role in evolution by
reducing recombination between favorable combinations of alleles. Until recently, however …

Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is central to the evolution of many eukaryotic genomes,
in particular rendering angiosperm (flowering plant) genomes much less stable than those of …

Highlights•Post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) in angiosperms usually operates by
descending dysploidy.•PPD is acting with differing intensities and rates.•Multiple base …

Plant cells are subject to high levels of DNA damage resulting from plant's obligatory
dependence on sunlight and the associated exposure to environmental stresses like solar …

During the past decade, molecular techniques have provided a wealth of data that have
facilitated the resolution of several controversial questions in polyploid evolution. Herein we …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

Polyploidy is an important feature of plant genomes, but the nature of many polyploidization
events remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the evolutionary fates of the …

Aneuploidy refers to losses and/or gains of individual chromosomes from the normal
chromosome set. The resulting gene dosage imbalance has a noticeable affect on the …
