Abstract
Allopolyploidization is the hybridization between two species, followed by genome doubling. This chapter presents a study on wheat hybrids, demonstrating that allopolyploidization induces genome evolution by activating instantaneous radical genomic upheavals through the generation of genetic and epigenetic alterations.
