Polyploidy is a mutation with profound phenotypic consequences and thus hypothesized to
have transformative effects in plant ecology. This is most often considered in the context of …

Polyploidy, or genome doubling, has occurred repeatedly through plant evolution. While
polyploid plants are used extensively in agriculture and horticulture, they have so far found …

The Caesalpinia group is a large pantropical clade of ca. 205 species in subfamily
Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae) in which generic delimitation has been in a state of …

 Abstract Caesalpinioideae is the second largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) with
ca. 4680 species and 163 genera. It is an ecologically and economically important group …

Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation that can have far‐reaching consequences for
plant ecology and evolution. Because polyploidy can induce an array of phenotypic …

polyploids: from the ground up 59 III. Predicted mechanisms by which WGD could affect …

Identifying discontinuous entities within species complexes is a major topic in systematic
and evolutionary biology. Comprehensive inventories describing and identifying species …

The stem bark and pods of “jucá” are widely used in Brazilian folk medicine and, despite
their therapeutic relevancies, there are insufficient reports about their quality control. Both …

Events of both hybridization and polyploidy are capable of completely restructuring the
genome, modifying phenotypic traits and affecting ecological interactions. For plants, these …

Premise of the Study Successful establishment of neopolyploids, and therefore polyploid
speciation, is thought to be contingent on environmental niche shifts from their progenitors …
