Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies. Polyploidy often occurs in human diseases and cancers, and its ...

For animals, an extra chromosome can result in major problems, but plants are another matter. Many plants can survive an extra copy of their entire genome (polyploidy), and this process often results ...

The figure shows the possible paths that result in the sudden transition from diploidy to polyploidy and the gradual transition from polyploidy to diploidy. The hybridization events that result in ...

Researchers emphasize that polyploidy and the important role it has played, especially in plant evolution, would not have gained the recognition it deserves would it not have been for its staunch ...

REISMAN, Zuelzer and Mitani 1 described polyploidy and endoreduplication of chromosomes in a patient being treated for acute leukemia. They ascribed these abnormalities to a primary chromosomal ...

Assistant Professor of Biology Vicki Losick admits she harbors a desire to change the world a little bit. “I want to make ‘polyploidy’ a household word,” Losick said in her Higgins Hall office, next ...

A research team has elucidated the role of polyploidy in the evolution and breeding of vegetable crops, leveraging advanced sequencing technologies to dissect the genetic and epigenetic nuances of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract On the basis of an analysis of chromosome number, polyploidy and growth habit in a selected list of 175 species of weeds of California, the ...

Polyploidy - whole genome duplication - is common among flowering plants, but its role in driving patterns of biodiversity, structuring plant communities, and influencing plant-animal interactions ...
