Plant breeders face multiple global challenges that affect food security, productivity,
accessibility, and nutritional quality. One major challenge for plant breeders is developing …

High-throughput techniques based on restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq)
are enabling the low-cost discovery and genotyping of thousands of genetic markers for any …

Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Main conclusion This article provides an up-to-date review concerning from basic issues of
polyploidy to aspects regarding the relevance and role of both natural and artificial …

Abstract Background The RNA-guided Cas9 system represents a flexible approach for
genome editing in plants. This method can create specific mutations that knock-out or alter …

Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some
WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been …

Deciphering the global distribution of polyploid plants is fundamental for understanding
plant evolution and ecology. Many factors have been hypothesized to affect the uneven …

Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Multiple cotton genomes (diploid and tetraploid) have been assembled. However, genomic
variations between cultivars of allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), the …
