Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Perhaps all flowering plants have experienced one or more episodes of polyploidization at
some time in their evolutionary history. Recent evidence indicates that this genome doubling …

Polyploid cells, which contain more than two genome copies, occur throughout nature.
Beyond well-established roles in increasing cell size/metabolic output, polyploidy can also …

Polyploidy has been widely appreciated as an important force in the evolution of plant
genomes, but now it is recognized as a common phenomenon throughout eukaryotic …

DNA replication during cell proliferation is 'vertical'copying, which reproduces an initial
amount of genetic information. Polyploidy, which results from whole-genome duplication, is …

Polyploidy, resulting from the duplication of the entire genome of an organism or cell, greatly
affects genes and genomes, cells and tissues, organisms, and even entire ecosystems …

Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than two complete genomes in a cell, has
intrigued biologists for almost a century. Polyploidy is found in many plants and some animal …

Hybridization and polyploidization are now recognized as major phenomena in the
evolution of plants, promoting genetic diversity, adaptive radiation and speciation. Modern …

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 …

Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,
pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous …
