Main conclusion This article provides an up-to-date review concerning from basic issues of
polyploidy to aspects regarding the relevance and role of both natural and artificial …

Autopolyploidy is more common in plants than traditionally assumed, but has received little
attention compared with allopolyploidy. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of …

Abstract genodive version 3.0 is a user‐friendly program for the analysis of population
genetic data. This version presents a major update from the previous version and now offers …

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

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

▪ Abstract The study of natural plant populations has provided some of the strongest and
most convincing cases of the operation of natural selection currently known, partly because …

Conservation of genetic diversity, one of the three main forms of biodiversity, is a
fundamental concern in conservation biology as it provides the raw material for evolutionary …

In 1950, G. Ledyard Stebbins devoted two chapters of his book Variation and Evolution in
Plants (Columbia Univ. Press, New York) to polyploidy, one on occurrence and nature and …

Though polyploidy is an important aspect of the evolutionary genetics of both plants and
animals, the development of population genetic theory of polyploids has seriously lagged …

The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …
