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 ...

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 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.

Genome size variation and polyploidy incidence in the alpine flora from Spain
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2013 The interest to study genome evolution, in particular genome size variation and polyploid incidence, has increased in recent years. Still, only a few studies have been focused at a community level.
