Polyploidy and Genomic Changes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyploidy: Recent Trends and Future Perspectives

Abstract

Doubling of two different genomes or a single genome within a cell requires a series of genetic and genomic adjustments. Recent studies have shown that polyploid genomes may undergo rapid changes in structure and function through genetic and epigenetic variations (Osborn et al. 2003; Levy and Feldman 2004; Adams and Wendel 2005; Chen 2007; Zhang et al. 2009; Buggs et al. 2010a, b, 2011; Xiong et al. 2011; Matsushita et al. 2012; Wang et al. 2013; Dar et al. 2013; Dar et al. 2017). These can be dealt with under the following headings.
