Polyploidy plays an important role in biological diversity, trait
improvement, and plant species survival. Understanding the
evolutionary phenomenon of polyploidy is a key challenge for plant
and crop scientists. This book is made up of contributions from
leading researchers in the field from around the world, providing a
truly global review of the subject. Providing broad-ranging
coverage, and up-to-date information from some of the world’s
leading researchers, this book is an invaluable resource for
geneticists, plant and crop scientists, and evolutionary
biologists.
