Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,
pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous …

Plant genomes vary in size and complexity, fueled in part by processes of whole-genome
duplication (WGD; polyploidy) and subsequent genome evolution. Despite repeated …

Despite the importance of polyploidy and the increasing availability of new genomic data,
there remain important gaps in our knowledge of polyploid population genetics. These gaps …

Plant speciation and diversification strongly rely on structural changes in the nuclear
genome, both at the whole ploidy and individual chromosome level. Phylogenetic …

The last several years have seen revolutionary advances in DNA sequencing technologies
with the advent of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. NGS methods now allow …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

New sequencing technologies allow development of genome‐wide markers for any genus
of ecological interest, including plant genera such as Betula (birch) that have previously …

Noncommercial varieties of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) harbor genetic potential for
improvements of disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance in commercial potato …

With the global human population growing rapidly, agricultural production must increase to
meet crop demand. Improving crops through breeding is a sustainable approach to increase …

Hybridization is a frequent and important force in plant evolution. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) methods offer new possibilities for clade resolution and ambitious …
