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

Deeply altered genome architecture in the endoparasitic flowering plant Sapria himalayana Griff.(Rafflesiaceae)
Summary Despite more than 2,000-fold variation in genome size, key features of genome
architecture are largely conserved across angiosperms. Parasitic plants have elucidated the …
