Brassica napus (rapeseed) is a young allopolyploid species, formed from the union between
progenitor species B. rapa (2 n= AA) and B. oleracea (2 n= CC) less than 7500 years ago …

Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous
traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the …

Polyploidy is recurrent across the tree of life and known as an evolutionary driving force in
plant diversification and crop domestication. How polyploid plants adapt to various habitats …

The major global crop Brassica napus L.(rapeseed, oilseed rape, canola, kale, swede,
rutabaga; genome AACC, 2n= 4x= 38) is a recent allopolyploid species, formed during the …

De novo allopolyploidization in Brassica provides a very successful model for reconstructing
polyploid genomes using progenitor species and relatives to broaden crop gene pools and …

The crop species within the genus Brassica have highly replicated genomes. Three base
'diploid'species, Brassica oleracea, B. nigra and B. rapa, are likely ancient polyploids, and …

Polyploidy plays a crucial role in plant evolution. Brassica napus (2n= 38, AACC), the most
important oil crop in the Brassica genus, is an allotetraploid that originated through natural …

Brassica napus (AACC genome) is an important oilseed crop that was formed by the fusion
of the diploids B. rapa (AA) and B. oleracea (CC). The complete genomic sequence of the …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Brassica species have a long common history with polyploidy, and in the last two decades
their study has contributed to renewed interest in plant polyploidy research. During this time …
