Preface Yves Van de Peer The study of polyploidy dates back more than 100 years to the work of biologists such as Hugo de Vries and G. Ledyard Stebbins Jr. It has since then been realized that polyploidy is widespread and commonplace in plants. Although polyploidy is much rarer in animals, there are also numerous cases of currently polyploid insects, fishes, amphibians and reptiles. For a long time, ancient polyploidy events, dating back millions of years, were much less well documented and it was not until the advent of genomic technologies that conclusive evidence of ancient whole genome duplications (WGD) events became available and we now have evidence for tens, or even hundreds, of ancient WGD events. Explanations of the short-term success of polyploids are usually centered on the effects of genomic changes and increased genetic variation, which are mediated by changes in gene expression and epigenetic remodeling. Increased genetic variation, together with the direct cytogenetic conse- quences of genome doubling, can potentially affect the morphology and physiology of newly formed polyploids and could lead to alterations of ecologically and envi- ronmentally suitable conditions. For instance, it has repeatedly been proposed that polyploids have increased environmental robustness than do diploids, potentially leading to evolutionary advantages during periods of environmental turmoil. More- over, polyploidy has also sometimes been linked with higher diversification rates. Long(er)-term implications of WGD might be evolutionary innovation and increase in biological complexity by the biased retention of regulatory and developmental genes, which, given time, might diversify in function or cause rewiring of gene regulatory networks. Lastly, the impact of polyploidy on the adaptive potential of clonal systems seems to be greater than was initially appreciated. Adaptive effects of polyploidy in prokaryotes might, through increased mutational robustness, contribute to the direct survival of the individual. In many multi-cellular organisms, polyploidy does not generally affect whole organisms but arises, as part of normal development, in the somatic cells of otherwise diploid organisms. Unprogrammed polyploidy also occurs and, for instance, characterizes a substantial proportion of human tumours. In short, polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. It is clear that the consequences of polyploidization are complex and variable, operate at different evolutionary time-scales and can differ greatly between systems and species. All this, and much more, will be discussed at this sixth International Conference on Polyploidy, where we welcome about 180 participants of more than 26 different countries. We wish you all a very inspiring and fun meeting!
