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 ...

By combining chloroplast and whole-genome sequence data from a large germplasm collection, the study found that two subspecies of cultivated peanuts likely arose from distinct allopolyploidization ...

Scientists have had a hard time pinpointing exactly when — and where — this allopolyploidization event took place, with estimates ranging everywhere from 10,000 to 1 million years ago.

An international team of scientists has generated the highest quality reference genome to date of the world’s most popular coffee species, Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). Their results suggest that ...

Study charts family history of Arabica, world’s most popular coffee species, through Earth’s heating and cooling periods over last millennia.

Allopolyploidization is a frequent evolutionary transition in plants that combines whole-genome duplication (WGD) and interspecific hybridization. The genome of an allopolyploid species results from ...

Joint Public Review: The flowering plant Capsella bursa-pastoris is an allotetraploid formed from the genomes of Capsella orientalis and Capsella grandiflora. An outstanding question in the evolution ...

Few incidents of ancient allopolyploidization (polyploidization by hybridization or merging diverged genomes) were previously revealed, although there is significant evidence for the accumulation of ...

This union of two different genomes, called allopolyploidization, is very interesting in evolutionary terms, as it leads to the formation of new plant species and is widespread in many plant groups.

Tonosaki, K., Osabe, K., Kawanabe, T. and Fujimoto, R. (2016) The Importance of Reproductive Barriers and The Effect of Allopolyploidization on Crop Breeding ...

A new study published in Nature-Scientific reports reveals that in this case, allopolyploidization happened just once. "This means that a single plant, a super individual, gave rise to the entire ...
