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

Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,

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

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by plants as a consequence of their
interaction with biotic and abiotic factors, and have a very important role in plant evolution …

The majority of the crops and vegetables of today were domesticated from their wild
progenitors within the past 12 000 years. Considerable research effort has been expended …
