PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The depiction of polyploid speciation as instantaneous implies
that strong prezygotic and postzygotic isolation form as a direct result of whole‐genome …

• Premise of the study: Hybridization and polyploidization (allopolyploidy) are ubiquitous in
the evolution of plants, but tracing the origins and subsequent evolution of the constituent …

Transposable elements (TE s) usually represent the most abundant and dynamic fraction of
genomes in almost all living organisms. The overall capacity of such 'junk DNA'to induce …

The role played by whole‐genome duplication (WGD) in evolution and adaptation is
particularly well illustrated in allopolyploids, where WGD is concomitant with interspecific …

The convergence of distinct lineages upon interspecific hybridisation, including when
accompanied by increases in ploidy (allopolyploidy), is a driving force in the origin of many …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of plant genomes with the ability to
change their position in the genome or to create new copies of themselves in other positions …

The review focuses on the genetic consequences of interspecific hybridization and
discusses its role in speciation and increasing the genetic diversity of plants, including the …

Nicotiana (Solanaceae) provides an ideal system for understanding polyploidization, a
pervasive and powerful evolutionary force in plants, as this genus contains several groups of …

Genome sizes of plants have long piqued the interest of researchers due to the vast
differences among organisms. However, the mechanisms that drive size differences have …

The repetitive content of the plant genome (repeatome) often represents its largest fraction
and is frequently correlated with its size. Transposable elements (TEs), the main component …
