Article Abstract
Polyploidization is a common and important evolutionary process in the plant kingdom. Compared with diploid plant species, the intricate genome architecture of polyploid plant species presents substantial challenges in applying multi-omics approaches for crop breeding improvement. In this Review, we summarize the current techniques for analysing polyploid genomes, including constructing reference genomes and pan-genomes, and detecting variants. We also assess findings related to polyploid genome architecture, population genetics and breeding programmes, highlighting advanced techniques in the breeding of polyploid crops. Finally, we explore the challenges and demands posed by polyploid genome complexity during analysis with available biotechnological tools. This Review emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive understanding of polyploid genomic features for the further genetic improvement of polyploid crops.

Heterostyly is a polymorphic floral adaptation controlled by supergenes. The molecular basis of distyly has been investigated in diploid species from several unrelated families, but information is lacking for polyploid systems. Here, we address this knowledge gap in Schizomussaenda henryi, a tetraploid distylous species of Rubiaceae, the family with the greatest number of heterostylous species.

Breeding resistant cultivars is the most effective strategy to control stripe rust in cereal crops. The hexaploid triticale line Xinyi is highly resistant to stripe rust at the seedling and adult plant stages. A segregating F population derived from a cross between Xinyi and the susceptible hexaploid triticale cultivar Zhongsi1048 was assessed to understand the genetic architecture of stripe rust resistance.

Plant architecture is a crucial agronomic trait significantly impacting soybean () yield. Traditional breeding has made some progress in optimizing soybean architecture, but it is limited in precision and efficiency. The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) system, a revolutionary gene-editing technology, provides unprecedented opportunities for plant genetic improvement.
