Hybridization and introgression represent important means for the transfer and/or de novo
origination of traits and play an important role in facilitating speciation and plant breeding …

Abstract Main conclusion Small RNAs and microRNAs were found to vary extensively in
synthetic Brassica napus and subsequent generations, accompanied by the activation of …

Interspecific hybridisation in tuber‐bearing species of Solanum is a common phenomenon
and represents an important source of variability, crucial for adaptation and speciation of …

Transposable elements are the major component of the maize genome and presumably
highly polymorphic yet they have not been used in population genetics and association …

Background Hybridization between genetically diverged organisms is known as an
important avenue that drives plant genome evolution. The possible outcomes of …

Polyploidy, which arises through complex genetic and ecological processes, is an important
mode of plant speciation. This review provides an overview of recent advances in …

We studied the natural hybrid (Fragaria× ananassa subsp. cuneifolia) between two sexually
dimorphic octoploid strawberry species (Fragaria virginiana and Fragaria chiloensis) to gain …

Transposon elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that can insert themselves into new
locations and modify the plant genome. In recent years, they have been used as molecular …

Background and Aims In the genus Anemone two small groups of taxa occur with the
highest ploidy levels 2 n= 6 x= 48, belonging to the closely related clades: the …

Background Genomic imprinting results in the expression of parent-of-origin-specific alleles
in the offspring. Brassica napus is an oil crop with research values in polyploidization …
