Article Synopsis
- * Traditionally, triploids were thought to produce nonfunctional gametes, limiting their impact on species evolution, but this research indicates otherwise for certain Brassica species.
- * Key meiotic irregularities were observed, such as associations between homologous chromosomes and premature separation of sister chromatids, revealing that genetic background significantly influences meiotic behavior in allotriploid species.
Genome balance and dosage effect drive allopolyploid formation in .

Polyploidy is a major evolutionary force that has shaped plant diversity. However, the various pathways toward polyploid formation and interploidy gene flow remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the immediate progeny of allotriploid AAC (obtained by crossing allotetraploid and diploid ) was predominantly aneuploids with ploidal levels ranging from near-triploidy to near-hexaploidy, and their chromosome numbers deviated from the theoretical distribution toward increasing chromosome numbers, suggesting that they underwent selection.
