Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …

We summarize, in this review, the evidence that genomic balance influences gene
expression, quantitative traits, dosage compensation, aneuploid syndromes, population …

Gene duplications have long been recognized as a contributor to the evolution of genes with
new functions. Multiple copies of genes can result from tandem duplication, from …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

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

Polyploidization, the addition of a complete set of chromosomes to the genome, represents
one of the most dramatic mutations known to occur. Nevertheless, polyploidy is well …

▪ Abstract Here we review the biology of early generation neopolyploids and discuss the
profound changes that accompany their formation. Newly formed auto-and allopolyploids …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plants and has been significant in the evolutionary
history of vertebrates and other eukaryotes. In plants, interdisciplinary approaches …

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is an important genomic feature for all
eukaryotes, especially many plants and some animals. The common occurrence of …

Polyploidy has long been recognized as a prominent force shaping the evolution of
eukaryotes, especially flowering plants. New phenotypes often arise with polyploid formation …
