arabica is considered to be a naturally occurring species of hybrid origin as a well-known
allotetraploid hybrid (Davis et al., 2006).
This specie is a fertile amphidiploid or
allotetraploid, probably originated by genome fusion of two species (JENNINGS, 1988).
The finger millet plant Eleusine coracana is a self-pollinated
allotetraploid variety having 2n = 4x=36 number of chromosome in its genome(Mehta et al.
The lowland switchgrass cultivars are
allotetraploid (2n = 4x=36) and consist of two highly homologous subgenomes, designated as Chr.a and Chr.b [40].
Durum wheat is traditionally grown around the Mediterranean Sea and it is the most commoncultivated form of
allotetraploid wheat.
Generality and characteristics of genetic and epigenetic changes in newly synthesized
allotetraploid wheat lines.
Amongst angiosperms, however, the number of paralogs varies between 33 and 71, with the highest gene copy number currently found in the
allotetraploid upland cotton (Park et al., 2010).
