Polyploidy, or whole-genome doubling, is one of evolution's most powerful forces in plants, yet its real-world consequences ...

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, ...
