Despite the importance of polyploidy and the increasing availability of new genomic data,
there remain important gaps in our knowledge of polyploid population genetics. These gaps …

Polyploid organisms carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition rarely
tolerated in animals but which occurs relatively frequently in the plant kingdom. One of the …

During the past decade there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in polyploidy
that has in large part been stimulated by the development of increasingly powerful genetic …

Polyploids are traditionally classified into allopolyploids and autopolyploids, based on their
evolutionary origin and their disomic or multisomic mode of inheritance. Over the past …

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

Though polyploidy is an important aspect of the evolutionary genetics of both plants and
animals, the development of population genetic theory of polyploids has seriously lagged …

Polyploidy is a mutation with profound phenotypic consequences and thus hypothesized to
have transformative effects in plant ecology. This is most often considered in the context of …

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 …

Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …

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 …
