Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Global agriculture is dominated by a handful of species that currently supply a huge
proportion of our food and feed. It additionally faces the massive challenge of providing food …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

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

The considerable drought tolerance of wild cereal crop progenitors has diminished during
domestication in the pursuit of higher productivity. Regaining this trait in cereal crops is …

Background Newly formed polyploids may experience short-term adaptative changes in
their genome that may enhance the resistance of plants to stress. Considering the …

Societal Impact Statement Cherimoya has been an important food source since Pre‐
Columbian times in the Americas. Although it is currently considered an underutilized fruit …

Modern agriculture depends on a narrow variety of crop species, leaving global food and
