Abstract excerpt
Whole genome duplications (WGD) are frequent in many plant lineages; however, ploidy level variation is unknown in most species. The most widely used methods to estimate ploidy levels in plants are chromosome counts, which require living specimens, and flow cytometry estimates, which necessitate living or relatively recently collected samples. Newly described bioinformatic methods have been developed to estimate...
