Our group is member of the Polyploidy Integration & Innovation Institute (PI3). The PI3 institute aims to produce novel research about the roles, consequences, and innovations of polyploidy using an integrated approach, collaborating with research groups around the world. Our integrated effort will yield much more than the sum of its parts: the new theory that emerges will be coupled with innovative interdisciplinary education, training, workforce development, and outreach.
