Due to the endosymbiotic origin of organelles, a pattern of coevolution and coadaptation
between organellar and nuclear genomes is required for proper cell function. In this review …

Abstract Resynthesized rapeseed lines (2 n= 4 x= 38, AACC), which recreate the historical
hybridization between progenitor species Brassica rapa (2 n= 2 x= 20, AA) and B. oleracea …

Brassica napus is currently cultivated as an important ornamental crop in China. Flower
color has attracted much attention in rapeseed genetics and breeding. Here, we …

The interaction and coevolution between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes are one of the
fundamental hallmarks of eukaryotic genome evolution and, 2 billion yr later, are still major …

Mitochondrial and plastid functions depend on coordinated expression of proteins encoded
by genomic compartments that have radical differences in copy number of organellar and …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

Restoring cytonuclear stoichiometry is necessary after whole‐genome duplication (WGD)
and interspecific/intergeneric hybridization in plants. We investigated this phenomenon in …

Allopolyploids have globally higher fitness than their diploid progenitors; however, by
comparison, most resynthesized allopolyploids have poor fertility and highly unstable …

This study explores how allopolyploidization reshapes the biased expression and
asymmetric epigenetic modification of homoeologous gene pairs, and examines the …

Meeting the needs of a growing world population in the face of imminent climate change is a
challenge; breeding of vegetable and oilseed Brassica crops is part of the race in meeting …
