Abstract excerpt
Karyotype changes are a formidable evolutionary force by directly impacting cross-incompatibility, gene dosage, genetic linkage, chromosome segregation, and meiotic recombination landscape. These changes often arise spontaneously and are commonly detected within plant lineages, even between closely related accessions. One element that can influence drastic karyotype changes after only one (or few) plant...
