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 ...

Polyploidy, or the presence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes, has been documented in a wide variety of taxa. Particularly prevalent in plants, between 47 and 70% of all angiosperms ...

Charlotte Lindqvist is an evolutionary biologist. Her research uses genomics to understand speciation processes, polyploidy events and hybridization in both animals and plants. She is an expert on the ...

(A) We created unique cells with double the usual number of chromosomes to investigate the relationship between polyploidy and DNA damage.(B) After treatment with the anti-cancer drug cisplatin ...

This condition, called polyploidy, reduces or eliminates genetic exchange with other yeast strains, therefore maintaining the brewing characteristics of yeast strains. Polyploidy is also found in ...

arabica a survival advantage that enabled it to thrive and adapt. "It's often argued that a hybrid polyploidy event can give an immediate evolutionary advantage given that two sets of chromosomes ...

2). For unknown reasons, trisomies are positively associated with advanced maternal age. Polyploidy refers to the presence of an extra set of chromosomes. Triploidy, for example, usually occurs ...

Each year there are extensive losses in crop productivity caused by abiotic stresses. Limited tolerance to extremes in temperatures, drought, salinity and nutrient imbalances have traditionally ...
