Abstract excerpt
Allopolyploids undergo "genomic shock" leading to significant genetic and epigenetic modifications. Previous studies have mainly focused on nuclear changes, while little is known about the inheritance and changes of organelle genome in allopolyploidization. The synthetic allotetraploid Cucumis ×hytivus, which is generated via hybridization between C. hystrix and C. sativus, is a useful model system for studying...
