Postglacial colonization and parallel evolution of metal tolerance in the polyploid Cerastium alpinum [PDF]
, 2005 The Fennoscandian flora is characterized by a high frequency of polyploids, probably because they were more successful than diploid plants in colonizing after the last Ice Age.

When bigger is better: the role of polyploidy in organogenesis [PDF]
, 2015 Defining how organ size is regulated, a process controlled not only by the number of cells but also by the size of the cells, is a frontier in developmental biology.

Transcriptional characterization of human megakaryocyte polyploidization and lineage commitment
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2021 Megakaryocytes (MKs) originate from cells immuno‐phenotypically indistinguishable from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bypassing intermediate progenitors. They mature within the adult bone marrow and release platelets into the circulation.

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

Disentangling the origins of cultivated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) [PDF]
, 2013 Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Convolvulaceae) counts among the most widely cultivated staple crops worldwide, yet the origins of its domestication remain unclear.

bioRxiv, 2021 It has been suggested that gene duplication and polyploidization create opportunities for the evolution of novel characters. However, the connections between the effects of polyploidization and morphological novelties have rarely been examined.

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Changes in Alternative Splicing in Response to Domestication and Polyploidization in Wheat1[OPEN]
Plant Physiology, 2020 Transcriptomic analyses of several wheat species with different ploidies reveal alternative splicing changes in response to wheat domestication or polyploidization.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aegilops geniculata Roth is a tetraploid (MgMgUgUg; 2n = 4x = 28) wild relative of wheat and a valuable source of genetic diversity for improving agronomic traits. We present a high‐quality homoeolog‐resolved assembly and annotation of the Ae.
