Diagram illustrating the construction of five sets of synthetic allotetraploids of diploid Aegilops species, and phenotypic consequences of allopolyploidy and additional chromosomal variation.
Where would #crop #plant #evolution be without #allopolyploidy?
Zhang et al. explore allopolyploidy in Aegilops as a rich source of #genetic variation amenable to natural and artificial selection in #wheat.
