Wild polyploid strawberries hold clues to how plants evolve and adapt to harsh environments. In this study, scientists sequenced the genomes of two ...

Preferential retention of genes from one parental genome after polyploidy illustrates the nature and scope of the genomic conflicts induced by hybridization. PLoS Genet 14 (3):e1007267 ...

REISMAN, Zuelzer and Mitani1 described polyploidy and endoreduplication of chromosomes in a patient being treated for acute leukemia. They ascribed these abnormalities to a primary chromosomal diso ...

The role of polyploidy per se in the development of evolutionary novelty remains one of the outstanding questions in flowering plant evolution. Since chromosome doubling usually is associated with ...

Evolution is the basis of biological diversity, driven by mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive. One such mechanism is polyploidy, where organisms carry extra copies of their genomes.

A recent study at Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy—organisms carrying extra ...

Polyploidy, the presence of more than two copies of each chromosome in the cells of an organism, is common in plants and animals, and finds important applications in the field of genetics. To ...

Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies.

Leading expert on plant evolution and speciation and professor of Iowa State University, Jonathan Wendel, presented his research Thursday on cotton genomes and polyploidy in his presentation “Genes, ...

RECOGNITION of the polyploid nature of various economic plants has become increasingly important, and the type of polyploidy is also of prime importance in the study of phylogeny within any genus ...

We suggest that polyploidy could confer resource costs related to the dietary phosphorus demands of nucleic acid production; such costs could facilitate the persistence of sex in situations where ...

Polyploidy, which results from the duplication of an organism’s entire genome, is a known source of genetic novelty that promotes speciation, thus contributing to the evolution and distribution of ...
