Polyploidy is widely recognized as an important speciation mechanism because it isolates
tetraploids from their diploid progenitors. Polyploidy also provides new genetic material that …

The immediate effects of plant polyploidization are well characterized and it is generally
accepted that these morphological, physiological, developmental, and phenological …

Polyploidy, resulting from whole‐genome duplication (WGD), is ubiquitous in nature and
reportedly associated with extreme environments and biological invasions. However, WGD …

Whole-genome duplication is a common mutation in eukaryotes with far-reaching
phenotypic effects, the resulting morphological and fitness consequences and how they …

Triploid is considered a reproductive barrier and also a bridge in the formation of polyploids.
However, few reports are available in Cymbidium. In this study, diploid 'Xiaofeng', sexual …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a leading force of plant sympatric speciation. However,
the evolutionary mechanisms promoting the establishment of neopolyploid mutants in nature …

Premise It is well‐known that whole genome duplication (WGD) has played a significant role
in the evolution of plants. The best‐known phenotypic effect of WGD is the gigas effect, or …

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 …

Premise The relationships between reproductive investment, phenotype, and fitness have
been broadly studied in cross‐pollinated plants in contrast to selfing species, which are …

Hybridization and polyploidy are major forces in plant evolution. Homoploid hybridization
can generate new species via hybrid speciation, or modify extant evolutionary lineages …
