Polyploidy is the presence of more than two homologous sets of chromosomes in a cell or organism. It occurs as a result of genome duplication due to nondisjunction during meiosis. In the ...

In a new study published in Molecular Plant, researchers led by Fu Xiangdong and Lu Fei from the Institute of Genetics and ...

However, the scientists also discovered evidence of multiple sets of chromosomes, or polyploidy. This complicates population genetic analyses, but polyploidy can promote environmental tolerance ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that ...
