Polyploidy is a common event in plants that involves the acquisition of more than two
complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidy originates from interspecies hybrids while …

Changes in ploidy are a significant type of genetic variation, describing the number of
chromosome sets per cell. Ploidy evolves in natural populations, clinical populations, and …

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), serves as a key innovation in plant
evolution and is an important genomic feature for all eukaryotes. Neopolyploids have to …

Meiotic and apomictic reproductive pathways develop simultaneously in facultative
aposporous species, and compete to form a seed as a final goal. This developmental …

Doubled haploids of triticale are of interest for plant breeders due to hybrid breeding
programs based on cytoplasmic male sterility Tt phenomenon. However,(epi) mutations …

Epigenetic modifications are considered to have an important role in evolution. DNA
methylation is one of the best studied epigenetic mechanisms and methylation variability is …

Polyploidy is very common within angiosperms, and several studies are in progress to
ascertain the effects of early polyploidization at the molecular, physiological, and phenotypic …

Background Apomixis is considered an evolutionary deviation of the sexual reproductive
