A Target Capture-Based Method to Estimate Ploidy From Herbarium Specimens

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Whole genome duplication (WGD) events are common in many plant lineages, but the ploidy status and possible occurrence of intraspecific ploidy variation are unknown for most species.

Ploidy determination of Canadida albicans [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal 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.

Ploidy dynamics and evolvability in fungi [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical 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.

Whole Genome Analysis of 132 Clinical Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains Reveals Extensive Ploidy Variation

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Budding yeast has undergone several independent transitions from commercial to clinical lifestyles. The frequency of such transitions suggests that clinical yeast strains are derived from environmentally available yeast populations, including commercial ...

Effects of ploidy level on leaf morphology, stomata, and anatomical structure of Hibiscus syriacus L. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Hibiscus syriacus L. is a deciduous shrub with a strong environmental resistance and wide application prospects. The genetic background and ploidy levels of Hibiscus cultivars are complex, and polyploid breeding has long been an important ...

Sublinear scaling of the cellular proteome with ploidy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
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 ...

Proliferative polyploid cells give rise to tumors via ploidy reduction

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Polyploidy is a hallmark of cancer, and closely related to chromosomal instability involved in cancer progression. Importantly, polyploid cells also exist in some normal tissues.

Single-nucleus RNA-seq2 reveals functional crosstalk between liver zonation and ploidy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Single-cell RNA-seq reveals the role of pathogenic cell populations in development and progression of chronic diseases. In order to expand our knowledge on cellular heterogeneity, we have developed a single-nucleus RNA-seq2 method tailored for the ...

Dynamic genome plasticity during unisexual reproduction in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus deneoformans.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Genome copy number variation occurs during each mitotic and meiotic cycle and it is crucial for organisms to maintain their natural ploidy. Defects in ploidy transitions can lead to chromosome instability, which is a hallmark of cancer.

Increased Virulence and Large-Scale Reduction in Genome Size of Tetraploid Candida albicans Evolved in Nematode Hosts

open access: yesFrontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans, yet the within-host dynamics of C. albicans infection are not clear. While C. albicans is commonly diploid, it exhibits a range of ploidies, including tetraploidy.
