They share the common aspect that they result from bringing together different genomes. Polyploidy and hybrid vigor have implications for biological diversity, species survival, and trait improvement. Grasping the genomic and molecular underpinning of polyploidy and heterosis could have a significant impact in numerous fields ranging from evolutionary biology, computational biology, genetics, epigenetics, and biotechnology. Moreover, they will no doubt impact the development of sustainable food and biofuel production. \u003ci\u003ePolyploid and Hybrid Genomics \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a timely synthesis of the latest research in the molecular mechanisms that underlie this important genetic and evolutionary process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolyploid and Hybrid Genomics \u003c\/i\u003eis made up of contributions from leading researchers in the field around the world, providing a global and comprehensive view of the subject.
