Ploidy determination of Canadida albicans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 The dimorphic yeast Candida albicans, as a member of the fungi imperfecti, has been assumed to be in the haploid, or imperfect, state. The deoxyribonucleic acid content of this species has been measured by flow microfluorometry, a technique capable of analyzing single cells.

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011 A recently developed real-time PCR method for the determination of genome copy numbers was optimized for the application to cyanobacteria. Three species were chosen to represent a fresh water species, a salt water species, and two strains of a widely used laboratory species.

Ploidy and the evolution of parasitism [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011 Levels of parasitism are continuously distributed in nature. Models of host–parasite coevolution, however, typically assume that species can be easily characterized as either parasitic or non-parasitic. Consequently, it is poorly understood which factors influence the evolution of parasitism itself.

The hybrid number of a ploidy profile
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2022 AbstractPolyploidization, whereby an organism inherits multiple copies of the genome of their parents, is an important evolutionary event that has been observed in plants and animals. One way to study such events is in terms of the ploidy number of the species that make up a dataset of interest.

Ploidy dynamics and evolvability in fungi [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Rapid responses to acute stresses are essential for stress survival and are critical to the ability of fungal pathogens to adapt to new environments or hosts. The rapid emergence of drug resistance is used as a model for how fungi adapt and survive stress conditions that inhibit the growth of progenitor cells. Aneuploidy and loss of heterozygosity (LOH)

Molecular Oncology, 2011 AbstractAneuploidy, often preceded by tetraploidy, is one of the hallmarks of solid tumors. Indeed, both aneuploidy and tetraploidy are oncogenic occurrences that are sufficient to drive neoplastic transformation and cancer progression. True to form, the tumor suppressor p53 obstructs propagation of these dangerous chromosomal events by either ...

Gender and ploidy in cancer survival [PDF]
Cellular Oncology, 2011 Females carry a better prognosis than men for many cancer types. We hypothesized that chromosomal changes, in particular numerical alterations of the sex chromosomes or the presence of near-triploidy may contribute to these gender differences.To characterize the influence of gender a literature search was performed for survival data of 27 tumor types ...

Histology and histopathology, 1999 We reviewed the literature concerning the history of determination of the ploidy of human megakaryocytes and its relationship with diseases. The ploidy of rabbit megakaryocytes was analyzed by microspectrophotometry in 1964, and the analysis of the ploidy in human megakaryocytes was first performed in 1968. Presently, microphotometry and flow cytometry

PLOIDY AND GENE EXPRESSION IN CLEMENTINE
Acta Horticulturae, 2015 Polyploidy has long been recognized as an important force in the evolution of flowering plants and often results in novel phenotypes having advantages in adaptation and major interest for agriculture. Many crops, including citrus, are bred to a higher level of ploidy in search of desirable traits.

Ploidy and the Causes of Genomic Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2009 Genomes vary dramatically in size and in content. This variation is driven in part by numerous polyploidization events that have happened over the course of eukaryotic evolution. Experimental evolution studies, primarily using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, provide insights into the immediate fitness effects of ploidy mutations, the ability of ...
