Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...

Anything more or less can be fatal. Plants can be polyploidy, meaning then can receive multiple sets of chromosomes from their parents. These extra sets result in a larger genome that can ...

Solving the evolutionary puzzle of polyploidy: how genome duplication shapes adaptation New research explores how polyploidy slows gradual evolution yet accelerates innovation Date: January 23 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Wheat, potatoes and strawberries, among many others, are polyploid. There are two forms of polyploidy: autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy. Autopolyploidy occurs when an organism has multiple sets ...

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) is one of the most important biogeographical processes. Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication, has long been proposed as an intrinsic feature of LDD. However ...

“Our findings not only provide key insights into the adaptive landscape of the Nepenthes genome, but also broaden our understanding of how polyploidy — having multiple sets of chromosomes — can ...

Plants often have more than two copies of each chromosome — a condition known as polyploidy — and seedless fruits grow when crosses yield offspring with incompatible chromosomes. Commercial ...

The evolutionary significance of polyploidy extends far beyond strawberry. The ability to create massive amounts of additional genetic material sets the stage for future adaptations to novel ...
