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 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 …

Polyploidy, or whole‐genome duplication often with hybridization, is common in eukaryotes
and is thought to drive ecological and evolutionary success, especially in plants. The …

The plant height is an important trait in fruit tree. However, the molecular mechanism on
dwarfism is still poorly understood. We found that colchicine-induced autotetraploid apple …

Salt stress dramatically reduces crop yield and quality, but the molecular mechanisms
underlying salt tolerance remain largely unknown. To explore the wheat transcriptional …

The sedge family (Cyperaceae: Poales; ca. 5600 spp.) is a hyperdiverse cosmopolitan
group with centres of species diversity in Africa, Australia, eastern Asia, North America, and …

Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative
patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the direct consequences of polyploidization
is necessary for assessing the evolutionary significance of this mode of speciation. Previous …

Abstract Background and Aims Polyploidy is considered one of the main mechanisms of
plant evolution and speciation. In the Mediterranean Basin, polyploidy has contributed to …

We studied the relationship between genome size and ploidy level variation and plant traits
for the reed grass Phragmites australis. Using a common garden approach on a global …
