Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,
pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous …

Allopolyploids result from hybridization between different evolutionary lineages coupled with
genome doubling. Homoeologous chromosomes (chromosomes with common shared …

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are weedy and wild relatives of the domesticated and cultivated
crops, which usually occur and are maintained in natural forms in their centres of origin …

Polyploidy is a major driver of evolutionary change. Autopolyploids, which arise by within-
species whole-genome duplication, carry multiple nearly identical copies of each …

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is one of our youngest domesticates, originating
in early eighteenth-century Europe from spontaneous hybrids between wild allo-octoploid …

Genome editing techniques, especially the CRISPR/Cas technology, increase the
possibilities and the speed of altering genetic material in organisms. So-called genome …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurs in all kingdoms and impacts speciation,
domestication, and cancer outcome. However, doubled DNA management can be …

Admixture and polyploidization are major recognized eukaryotic genome evolutionary
processes. Their impacts on genome dynamics vary among systems and are still partially …

Many species, including most flowering plants, are polyploid, possessing multiple genomes.
During polyploidisation, fertility is preserved via the evolution of mechanisms to control the …

In the past, breeding for incorporation of insect pest resistance or tolerance into cultivars for
use in integrated pest management schemes in oilseed rape/canola (Brassica napus) …
