Highlights•Post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) in angiosperms usually operates by
descending dysploidy.•PPD is acting with differing intensities and rates.•Multiple base …

Life without the mustard family (Brassicaceae) would be a world without many crop species
and the model organism Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) that has revolutionized our …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a major crop for sugar and bioenergy production. Its highly
polyploid, aneuploid, heterozygous, and interspecific genome poses major challenges for …

Brassicaceae is one of the most diverse and economically valuable angiosperm families
with widely cultivated vegetable crops and scientifically important model plants, such as …

The Brassicaceae include several major crop plants and numerous important model species
in comparative evolutionary research such as Arabidopsis, Brassica, Boechera …

The genus Brassica includes several important agricultural and horticultural crops. Their
current genome structures were shaped by whole-genome triplication followed by extensive …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is probably the crop with the most complex genome. Modern
cultivars (2n= 100–120) are highly polyploids and aneuploids derived from interspecific …

Abstract The Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) family, owing to its remarkable species, genetic, and
physiological diversity as well as its significant economic potential, has become a model for …

Hybridization and polyploidy followed by genome‐wide diploidization had a significant
impact on the diversification of land plants. The ancient At‐α whole‐genome duplication …

Highlights•We revisit the concept of the Ancestral Crucifer Karyotype (ACK) and the
definition of a revised set of 22 conserved genomic blocks across the Brassicaceae family …
