Abstract Background The BOP (Bambusoideae, Oryzoideae, and Pooideae) clade of the
Poaceae has a common ancestor, with similarities to the genomes of rice, Oryza sativa (2 n …

Woody bamboos (Bambusoideae) are renowned for its polyploidy and rare flowering.
Bambusa odashimae is one of the bamboo species with the highest chromosome count …

Background Karyotype, as a basic characteristic of species, provides valuable information
for fundamental theoretical research and germplasm resource innovation. However …

Meiotic recombination is a key biological process in plant evolution and breeding, as it
generates genetic diversity in each generation through the formation of crossovers (COs) …

Key message Homoeolog expression bias and the gene dosage effect induce
downregulation of genes on chromosome A7, causing a significant increase in the plant …

Hybridization blurs species boundaries and leads to intertwined lineages resulting in
reticulate evolution. Polyploidy, the outcome of whole genome duplication (WGD), has more …

Abstract The Modern Synthesis, a pillar in biological thought, united Darwin's species origin
concepts with Mendel's laws of character heredity, providing a comprehensive …

Key message The major irregular chromosome pairing and mis-segregation were detected
during meiosis through unambiguous chromosome identification and found that allotriploid …

Abstract “Synthetic” allopolyploids recreated by interspecific hybridization play an important
role in providing novel genomic variation for crop improvement. Such synthetic …

Key message We developed an array of Zea–Tripsacum tri-hybrid allopolyploids with
multiple ploidies. We unveiled that changes in genome dosage due to the chromosomes …
