Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Background The growing wealth of knowledge on whole-plant genome sequences is
highlighting the key role of transposable elements (TEs) in plant evolution, as a driver of …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Autopolyploidy is more common in plants than traditionally assumed, but has received little
attention compared with allopolyploidy. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of …

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, a change whereby the entire chromosome set is multiplied, arises through
mitotic or meiotic misdivisions and frequently involves unreduced gametes and interspecific …

The Brassicaceae include several major crop plants and numerous important model species
in comparative evolutionary research such as Arabidopsis, Brassica, Boechera …

Polyploidy is a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. The profound effects of
polyploidy on gene expression appear to be caused more by hybridity than by genome …

Molecular ecologists increasingly require 'universal'genetic markers that can easily be
transferred between species. The distribution of cross‐species transferability of nuclear …

Gnetophytes are an enigmatic gymnosperm lineage comprising three genera, Gnetum,
Welwitschia and Ephedra, which are morphologically distinct from all other seed plants …
