Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may
slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate …

The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

Polyploidy has contributed to the evolution of eukaryotes, particularly flowering plants. The
genomic consequences of polyploidy have been extensively studied, but the mechanisms …

Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, has played a major role in the evolution of many
eukaryotic lineages. Although the prevalence of polyploidy in plants is well documented, the …

Polyploidization and recombination are two important processes driving evolution through
the building and reshaping of genomes. Allopolyploids arise from hybridization and …

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 …

Polyploidy promotes the restructuring of merged genomes within initial generations of
resynthesized Brassica napus, possibly caused by homoeologous recombination at meiosis …

Nearly four decades ago, Roose & Gottlieb (Roose & Gottlieb 1976 Evolution 30, 818–
830.(doi: 10.2307/2407821)) showed that the recently derived allotetraploids Tragopogon …

Mesopolyploid whole-genome duplication (WGD) was revealed in the ancestry of Australian
Brassicaceae species with diploid-like chromosome numbers (n= 4 to 6). Multicolor …
