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.

Problems associated with the use of Heliantbus species for the breeding of the cultivated sunflower: Ploidy level or phylogenetic distance? [PDF]
Of the 49 species that comprise the genus Helianthus, 42 are present in the wild species collection at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops. This is a rich bank of desirable genes for sunflower breeders.

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

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
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.

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.

Virulence phenotypes result from interactions between pathogen ploidy and genetic background
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 ...

Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Ploidy dynamics and evolvability in fungi [PDF]
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)

Is Natural Population of Candida tropicalis Sexual, Parasexual, and/or Asexual?
Candida tropicalis is one of the most common opportunistic yeast pathogens of humans, especially prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. This yeast has broad ecological distributions, can be found in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems ...
