Doubling down on genomes: polyploidy and crop plants
S Renny‐Byfield, JF Wendel - American journal of botany, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Polyploidy, the nucleotype, and novelty: the impact of genome doubling on the biology of the cell
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 …

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

The polyploidy revolution then… and now: Stebbins revisited
Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,

Subgenome dominance in an interspecific hybrid, synthetic allopolyploid, and a 140-year-old naturally established neo-allopolyploid monkeyflower
Recent studies have shown that one of the parental subgenomes in ancient polyploids is
generally more dominant, having retained more genes and being more highly expressed, a …

Homoeolog expression bias and expression level dominance in allopolyploid cotton
Allopolyploidy is an evolutionary and mechanistically intriguing process, in that it entails the
reconciliation of two or more sets of diverged genomes and regulatory interactions. In this …
