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

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 …

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, the condition of possessing more than 2 complete chromosome sets in the same
nucleus, is frequent in nature and has implications for a species' prospects for evolution …

Polyploidy is an intriguing phenomenon in plants that has provided an important pathway for
evolution and speciation. Although the first polyploid was discovered over a century ago, the …

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

In 1950, G. Ledyard Stebbins devoted two chapters of his book Variation and Evolution in
Plants (Columbia Univ. Press, New York) to polyploidy, one on occurrence and nature and …

Whole genome duplication (WGD), which gives rise to polyploids, is a unique type of
mutation that duplicates all the genetic material in a genome. WGD provides an evolutionary …

Polyploidy, the multiplication of chromosome sets above the diploid state, is arguably as
prevalent in plants as any other eukaryotic group. Over the past century, polyploidy has …
