Polyploidy and interspecific hybridization: partners for adaptation, speciation and evolution in plants
- BiologyAnnals of botany
- 2017
Polyploidy results in immediate genetic redundancy and represents, with the emergence of new gene functions, an important source of novelty in plant evolution, and is illustrated by the huge angiosperm diversity that is assumed to originate from recurrent polyploidization events.
Structural and Functional Evolution of Resynthesized Polyploids

These studies demonstrate that polyploidization may have immediate genetic and phenotypic consequences, particularly in B. napus and resynthesized Brassica allopolyploids.

The role of hybridization in plant speciation.
- BiologyAnnual review of plant biology
- 2009
The time is therefore right for a review of the role of hybridization in plant speciation, demonstrating that perhaps all angiosperms have likely undergone at least one round of polyploidization and that hybridization has been an important force in generating angiosperm species diversity.
Significance and Biological Consequences of Polyploidization in Land Plant Evolution
- Biology

How genomic traces of ancient WGDs can be identified and dated are discussed, the molecular biological consequences of polyploidization on shorter and longer evolutionary timescales are described, and how WGGs might have contributed to the evolutionary success of descendant plant lineages are discussed.

Allopolyploidization Lays the Foundation for Evolution of Distinct Populations: Evidence From Analysis of Synthetic Arabidopsis Allohexaploids
- BiologyGenetics
- 2012
Testing the hypothesis that mosaic aneuploidy contributes to the formation of incipient diversity in neoallopolyploids found evidence of sibling line-specific chromosome number variations and rapidly diverging phenotypes between lines, including flowering time, leaf shape, and pollen viability.
Does one subgenome become dominant in the formation and evolution of a polyploid?
- BiologyAnnals of botany
- 2022
Subgenome biases in polyploids mainly reflect legacy from the progenitors and that they can be detected before the completion of polyploidization events, and there is no convincing evidence that the magnitudes of sub genome biases have significantly changed during evolution for any of the allopolyploid species assessed.

Polyploid incidence and evolution.
- BiologyAnnual review of genetics
- 2000
New estimates for the incidence of polyploidy in ferns and flowering plants are presented based on a simple model describing transitions between odd and even base chromosome numbers, and it is indicated that ploidy changes may represent from 2 to 4% of speciation events in flowering plants and 7% in f Ferns.
Formation of stable epialleles and their paramutation-like interaction in tetraploid Arabidopsis thaliana
- BiologyNature Genetics
- 2003
It is shown that epialleles in tetraploid plants (but not in diploids) interact in trans and lead to heritable gene silencing persisting after segregation from the inactivating allele, which leads to the establishment of functional epigenetic homozygosity and to conversion of new recessive alleles into traits expressed in early polyploid generations.
Molecular data and the dynamic nature of polyploidy
- Biology
- 1993
Molecular data strongly suggest that recurrent formation of polyploid species is the rule, rather than the exception, and that multiple origins were found to be frequent on a local geographic scale, as well as during a short span of time.

The results indicate that the triploid bridge pathway can contribute significantly to autopolyploids formation regardless of the mating system, and to allopolyploid formation in outcrossing taxa.

Evidence is provided from a 4 year study demonstrating that the evolution of polyploidy has reshaped the interactions between a widespread plant and three species of phytophagous moths, suggesting that a primary consequence of plant polyploids may be to shape the ecological structure of plant–insect interactions, thereby providing opportunities for diversification in both plant and insect taxa.
