Abstract

Polyploidy, the condition of having more than two sets of chromosomes, is a major force in plant evolution, speciation, and adaptation. This collection of research explores the diverse impacts of polyploidy, including its effects on genome size, gene expression, metabolic innovation, and phenotypic traits. Studies highlight polyploidy’s role in reproductive isolation and the formation of new species, as well as its significance in crop improvement and agricultural productivity. The genomic consequences, epigenetic regulation, and evolutionary history of polyploidization events are also investigated, revealing its widespread and recurrent nature in the plant kingdom.
