Abstract
The main objective of the study was
to assess polyploidy use experience in crop improvement and to generate
information for crop breeders for future endeavor. Due to the rapid development
of sequencing technologies, there is increased evidence to support that polyploidization
plays an important role in the diversification of plant species, evolution of
genes, and the domestication of crops. The occurrence of many independent
polyploidization events in plants was found to be tightly associated with the
timing of extreme climate events or natural disasters on earth, leading to mass
extinction while possibly facilitating increased polyploidization. Moreover,
polyploidization was found to significantly impact species diversification,
with subsequent effects on crop domestication and the development of traits
with agronomic importance.
