In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Guava (Psidium guajava L., Myrtaceae) is a Neotropical fruit that is widely consumed around
the world. However, its evolutionary history and domestication process are unknown. Here …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

Homoeologous recombination, aneuploidy, and other genetic changes are common in
resynthesized allopolyploid Brassica napus. In contrast, the chromosomes of cultivars have …

Polyploidy generally provides an advantage in phenotypic variation and growth vigor.
However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The tetraploid …

Testing for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) can provide fundamental
information about genetic variation and evolutionary processes in natural populations. In …

Tripleurospermum is a typically Mediterranean genus with ca. 40 species. It is widespread
and diverse in Turkey with ca. 32 taxa, of which 12 are provided anatomical traits of both leaf …

Apple (Malus) is one of the most important fruit crops. The cultivated apple, M.× domestica,
can be either diploid or triploid, whereby the latter accounts for 10% of all currently cultivated …

The loss of long‐tongued pollinator species and dominance of a few short‐tongued
generalist species, related to agricultural intensification in recent decades, may have …

Allopolyploidy is an evolutionary and mechanistically intriguing process involving the
reconciliation of two or more sets of diverged genomes and regulatory interactions, resulting …
