Sublinear scaling of the cellular proteome with ploidy
Ploidy changes are frequent in nature and contribute to evolution, functional specialization and tumorigenesis. Analysis of model organisms of different ploidies revealed that increased ploidy leads to an increase in cell and nuclear volume, reduced ...

Polyploid lineages in the genus Porphyra [PDF]
Whole genome duplication is now accepted as an important evolutionary force, but the genetic factors and the life history implications affecting the existence and abundance of polyploid lineages within species are still poorly known.

Cytokinesis in bloodstream stage Trypanosoma brucei requires a family of katanins and spastin [PDF]
Microtubule severing enzymes regulate microtubule dynamics in a wide range of organisms and are implicated in important cell cycle processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and disassembly, chromosome movement and cytokinesis.

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...

Intraspecific C-value variation and the outcomes in Psidium cattleyanum Sabine essential oil
Polyploidy, a numerical alteration of the karyotype, is one of the most important mechanisms in plant speciation and diversification, but could also be detected among populations, the cytotypes.

Resistance to frost and tuber soft rot in near-pentaploid Solanum tuberosum - S. commersonii hybrids [PDF]
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the tolerance to low temperatures and tuber soft rot in sexual near-pentaploid hybrids between incongruent 2x (1EBN) Solanum commersonii (CMM) and 4x (4EBN) S. tuberosum (TBR). For freezing resistance,

Analysis of DNA Polymerases Reveals Specific Genes Expansion in Leishmania and Trypanosoma spp.
Leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are largely neglected diseases prevailing in tropical and subtropical conditions. These are an arthropod-borne zoonosis that affects humans and some animals and is caused by infection with protozoan of the genera ...
