DNA replication during cell proliferation is 'vertical'copying, which reproduces an initial
amount of genetic information. Polyploidy, which results from whole-genome duplication, is …

Polyploid cells demonstrate biological plasticity and stress adaptation in evolution;
development; and pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration, and …

Allopolyploidization, resulting in divergent genomes in the same cell, is believed to trigger a
“genome shock”, leading to broad genetic and epigenetic changes. However, little is …

Polyploids arise from whole-genome duplication (WGD) events, which have played
important roles in genome evolution across eukaryotes. WGD can increase genome …

Following whole-genome duplication (WGD), duplicate gene pairs (homoeologs) can evolve
varying degrees of expression divergence. However, the determinants influencing these …

Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) lines are created as pre-breeding germplasm to diversify
the D subgenome of hexaploid wheat and capitalize upon the untapped genetic diversity of …

Whole genome doubling (WGD) plays a critical role in plant evolution, yet the mechanisms
underlying the maintenance of overall equilibrium following an artificial doubling event, as …

Activation of regeneration upon tissue damages requires the activation of many
developmental genes responsible for cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and tissue …

Polyploidization is a widespread phenomenon in flowering plants, and it often enhances
abiotic stress tolerance. However, the related molecular mechanism remains largely …

Watermelon is an important fruit that is widely distributed around the world. In particular, the
production and consumption of watermelon in China ranks first in the world. Watermelon …
