Polyploidization is a major driver of speciation and its importance to plant evolution has been well recognized.Bamboos comprise one diploid herbaceous and three polyploid woody lineages,and are members of the only ma...
Gene duplications provide evolutionary potentials for generating novel functions, while polyploidization or whole genome duplication (WGD) doubles the chromosomes initially and results in hundreds to thousands of re...
Transfer cells (TCs) are specialized cells exhibiting invaginated wall ingrowths (Wls), thereby amplifying their plasma membrane surface area (PMSA) and hence the capacity to transport nutrients. However, it rem...
