Homoeologous Exchanges, Segmental Allopolyploidy, and Polyploid Genome Evolution
Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids, pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous chromosomes) during meiosis is common. The initial stages of allopolyploid formation are characterized by a spectrum of saltation...
