It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

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

Polyploidy complicates transcriptional regulation and increases phenotypic diversity in
organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident …

Although domesticated goldfish strains exhibit highly diversified phenotypes in morphology,
the genetic basis underlying these phenotypes is poorly understood. Here, based on …

Cis and trans regulatory divergence underlies phenotypic and evolutionary diversification.
Relatively little is understood about the complexity of regulatory evolution accompanying …

Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …

Allopolyploidization may initiate rapid evolution due to heritable karyotypic changes. The
types and extents of these changes, the underlying causes, and their effects on phenotype …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber crop worldwide. The diversity of
Gossypium species also provides an ideal model for investigating evolution and …

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 …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …
