Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Polyploidy, or the presence of two or more diploid parental genome sets within an organism,
is found to an amazing degree in higher plants. In addition, many plant species traditionally …

The last decade highlighted polyploidy as a rampant evolutionary process that triggers
drastic genome reorganization, but much remains to be understood about their causes and …

Background Most, if not all, green plant (Virdiplantae) species including angiosperms and
ferns are polyploids themselves or have ancient polyploid or whole genome duplication …

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 …

Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation that can have far‐reaching consequences for
plant ecology and evolution. Because polyploidy can induce an array of phenotypic …

The prevalence of polyploidy in wild and crop species has stimulated debate over its
evolutionary advantages and disadvantages. Previous studies have focused on changes …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD), which leads to polyploidy, is implicated in adaptation
and speciation. But what are the immediate effects of WGD and how do newly polyploid …

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

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plants and has been significant in the evolutionary
history of vertebrates and other eukaryotes. In plants, interdisciplinary approaches …
