Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have been known since almost the beginning of
genetics. While an important role for CRs in speciation has been suggested, evidence …

The use of phytochemicals is gaining interest for the treatment of metabolic syndromes over
the synthetic formulation of drugs. Senna is evolving as one of the important plants which …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

In recent decades, interest in plant genome size (ie the total amount of DNA in the
unreplicated haploid nucleus; Greilhuber et al., 2005) has been growing exponentially as …

Abstract The Pladias (Plant Diversity Analysis and Synthesis) Database of the Czech Flora
and Vegetation was developed by the Pladias project team in 2014–2018 and 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 …

Euphyllophytes encompass almost all extant plants, including two sister clades, ferns and
seed plants. Decoding genomes of ferns is the key to deep insight into the origin of …

The prevalence of autopolyploids in angiosperms has long been a subject of debate.
Müntzing (1936) and Darlington (1937) concluded that autopolyploids were common and …

Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …

Polyploidy is commonly thought to be associated with the domestication process because of
its concurrence with agriculturally favourable traits and because it is widespread among the …
