Hybrid zones, or zones of genetic admixture of different intraspecific cytotypes, provide clues to evolutionary transitions and the mechanisms of polyploid speciation. Čertner et al. present insights into the spatio...

Assignment of SNP allelic configuration in polyploids
Estimation of allele copy numbers for molecular markers is a challenge for polyploid species.
Epigenetic regulation gives diversity in triploid bananas
The production of triploid banana and plantain (Musa spp.) cultivars with improved characteristics remains a major challenge for plant breeders. Hippolyte et al. examine 561 accessions and determine the closest diploid...
Cytogeography of Pilosella echioides
There have been significant advances recently in understanding the processes that operate in mixed-ploidy populations to maintain the coexistence of multiple cytotypes. Trávníček et al. examine frequent ploidy...
