Synthetic polyploids have been extensively studied for breeding in the last decade.
However, the use of such genotypes at the agronomical level is still limited. Polyploidization …

Polyploidization has played a key role in plant breeding and crop improvement. Although its
potential to increase biomass yield is well described, the effect of polyploidization on …

Polyploidy, or genome doubling, has occurred repeatedly through plant evolution. While
polyploid plants are used extensively in agriculture and horticulture, they have so far found …

Potato is a major food crop with enormous biomass straw, but lignocellulose recalcitrance
causes a costly bioethanol conversion. Here, we selected the cytochimera (Cyt) potato …

Dioecy has evolved numerous times in plants, but heteromorphic sex chromosomes are
apparently rare. Sex determination has been studied in multiple Salix and Populus …

After polyploidization, plants usually undergo some morphological and physiological
changes, including the lignin content of polyploids usually becoming lower than that of …

Whole-genome duplication often results in a reduction in the lignin content in autopolyploid
plants compared with their diploid counterparts. However, the regulatory mechanism …

The relationships between aerial organ morpho-anatomy of woody polyploid plants with
their functional hydraulics under water stress remain largely understudied. We evaluated …

Erianthus arundinaceus is not only an important germplasm resource for sugarcane
breeding but also a potential bioenergy plant. Making clear the distribution of the …

Yield improvement of woody bioenergy crops has been the major focus of breeding
programs, but biomass quality is also important for conversion to biofuels. Using high …
