Higher ploidy coincides with inferior performance and no difference in drought tolerance in a mesocosm experiment with common reed (Phragmites australis)

Environmental and Experimental Botany
Climate change leads to more extreme weather events. Therefore, high stress tolerance is becoming increasingly critical for plants. A higher ploidy level has been reported to lead to higher stress tolerance in plants.

Human megakaryocyte ploidy.

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

Maintenance and variation of chromosome ploidy under tissue culture conditions of different Camellia germplasms

Guangxi Zhiwu
The maintenance and variation of ploidy in plants are influenced by environmental factor, and the tissue culture regeneration can often cause changes of chromosome structures and ploidy levels.

Cellular cannibalism: An insight

CHRISMED Journal of Health and Research, 2015
The phenomenon of cell cannibalism refers to the engulfment of cells within other cells. It is an unusual phenomenon associated with poor prognosis of high-grade cancers.

Virulence phenotypes result from interactions between pathogen ploidy and genetic background

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Studying fungal virulence is often challenging and frequently depends on many contexts, including host immune status and pathogen genetic background. However, the role of ploidy has often been overlooked when studying virulence in eukaryotic pathogens ...

Tumor ploidy determination in low-pass whole genome sequencing and allelic copy number visualization using the Constellation Plot

Genome Biology
Ploidy determination across the genome has been challenging for low-pass-WGS tumor-only samples. We present BACDAC, a method that calculates tumor ploidy down to 1.2X effective tumor coverage.

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade-Offs in Plant Drought Responses. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Predictive and prognostic biomarkers of Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin therapy failure in bladder cancer patients: A systematic review

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
High‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...

Inferring Variation in Copy Number Using High Throughput Sequencing Data in R

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Inference of copy number variation presents a technical challenge because variant callers typically require the copy number of a genome or genomic region to be known a priori.
