A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has shown that different plant species tackle the same evolutionary hurdle in different ways, and the findings may give insight into ...

Polyploid crops, such as blueberries, often exhibit complex inheritance patterns that complicate genetic analysis and hinder ...

Bamboo flowering is a rare and enigmatic event, especially in woody species that flower only once in decades. In this study, ...

Understanding inheritance patterns in polyploid crops has long posed technical and financial challenges, particularly in ...

Bamboo flowering is a rare and enigmatic event, especially in woody species that flower only once in decades. In this study, researchers decoded the complex, haplotype-resolved genome of Bambusa ...

The effects of polyploidy seem to be basically a higher level of gene expression and increased adaptive potential, but nutritional requirements may alter in polyploid species. This means the species ...

Losick’s research has discovered that polyploid cells play a crucial role in wound healing, a role she thinks places polyploidy on the same level as stem cells, which have revolutionized the life ...

Camelina (Camelina sativa) is gaining global attention as a climate-friendly biofuel crop, yet its limited genetic diversity ...

Soltis and colleagues continue to be fascinated by the flexibility, novelty, and dynamic nature of polyploid genomes. "An organism with a doubled genome is greater than the sum of its parts in the ...
