Origin and evolution of the forage allotetraploid species Stylosanthes scabra
The genus Stylosanthes includes nitrogen-fixing and drought-tolerant species of considerable economic importance for perennial pasture, green manure and land recovery. Stylosanthes scabra is adapted to variable soil...
Functional drought response in the Brachypodiumdistachyon species complex
Some polyploid species show enhanced physiological tolerance to drought compared with their progenitors. However, very few studies have examined the consistency of physiological drought response between genetically...

Origin and genetic differentiation of pink-flowered Sorbus hybrids
Allopolyploidy combined with apomixis is a partnership that generates novel species in many plant taxa, including the genus Sorbus. Uhrinová et al. use chloroplast and nuclear markers as well as flow cytometry to reveal...
Directional gene conversion and homogenization of rDNA shapes evolution in Brassica
Brassica napus (AACC, oilseed rape) is an allotetraploid species derived from the putative progenitor diploid species B.rapa (AA) and B. oleracea (CC). To assess the influence of intensive breeding conditions on the...
