In one study, researchers demonstrated that allopolyploidization between dioecious ancestors can lead to rapid turnover of sex chromosomes, as evidenced by the evolution of novel ZW systems ...

Fungal genetics is the study of the mechanisms of heritable information in fungi. Yeasts and filamentous fungi are extensively used as model organisms for eukaryotic genetic research, including ...

Published 23 April, 2025 Researchers have synthesized a new allohexaploid wheat, Triticum kiharae, and demonstrated a feasible route to simultaneously introgress standing genetic variations from ...

Diploidization plays a crucial role in overcoming the initial challenges following polyploidy and generating novel variation, thereby contributing to the evolutionary success of angiosperms. However, ...

Allopolyploidization refers to the merging of two or more different progenitor genomes (16), while autopolyploidization is the duplication of very similar to identical genomes. When the postpolyploid ...
