Leading expert on plant evolution and speciation and professor of Iowa State University, Jonathan Wendel, presented his research Thursday on cotton genomes and polyploidy in his presentation “Genes, ...

Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes, known as polyploids, are salt-tolerant or drought-resistant and often achieve higher yields. However, newly formed polyploid plants are often sterile or have ...

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major mechanism of genome evolution across the tree of life and is particularly prevalent in plants, where it facilitates the evolution of new ...

A wave of AI foundation models built on plant DNA sequences is giving researchers new tools to annotate genomes, predict gene ...

Sand rock- cress (Arabidopsis arenosa) serves as a model for unravelling the mystery surrounding the sterility of newly formed polyploids. Most mammals and humans have a double set of chromosomes – ...
