Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Aptamers are short single-stranded nucleic acid sequences capable of binding to target
molecules in a way similar to antibodies. Due to various advantages such as prolonged …

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 …

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

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 …

Protein synthesis is a fundamental process in gene expression that depends upon the
abundance and accessibility of the mRNA transcript as well as the activity of many protein …

Allopolyploidy involves hybridization and duplication of divergent parental genomes and
provides new avenues for gene expression. The expression levels of duplicated genes in …

Translation is a crucial step in gene expression and plays a vital role in regulating various
aspects of plant development and environmental responses. It is a dynamic and complex …

The dynamics of gene expression in crop grains has typically been investigated at the
transcriptional level. However, this approach neglects translational regulation, a widespread …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus), the second most important oilseed crop globally, originated
from an interspecific hybridization between B. rapa and B. oleracea. After this genome …
