Origins of Polyploids

1980
1. Polyploidy is a conspicuous feature of chromosomal evolution in higher plants. It is common in many genera, and numerous species are characterized by diploid and polyploid races. 2. Polyploid evolution is a process not an event. 3. Polyploid may involve somatic chromsome doubling or sexual functioning of cytologically non-reduced gametes.

Spontaneous polyploidization in cucumber

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2017
This is the first quantitative estimation of spontaneous polyploidy in cucumber and we detected 2.2% polyploids in a greenhouse study. We provide evidence that polyploidization is consistent with endoreduplication and is an on-going process during plant growth.

DNA Damage and Polyploidization

2010
A growing body of evidence indicates that polyploidization triggers chromosomal instability and contributes to tumorigenesis. DNA damage is increasingly being recognized for its roles in promoting polyploidization. Although elegant mechanisms known as the DNA damage checkpoints are responsible for halting the cell cycle after DNA damage, agents that ...

Polyploidization of liver cells

2010
Eukaryotic organisms usually contain a diploid complement of chromosomes. However, there are a number of exceptions. Organisms containing an increase in DNA content by whole number multiples of the entire set of chromosomes are defined as polyploid. Cells that contain more than two sets of chromosomes were first observed in plants about a century ago ...

Polyploids with Different Origins and Ancestors Form a Single Sexual Polyploid Species [PDF]

open access: possibleThe American Naturalist, 2006
Polyploidization is one of the few mechanisms that can produce instantaneous speciation. Multiple origins of tetraploid lineages from the same two diploid progenitors are common, but here we report the first known instance of a single tetraploid species that originated repeatedly from at least three diploid ancestors.

Genetics of Polyploids

1996
Large gains in the knowledge of plant genetics have been made during the last decade due to the development and application of DNA markers. The use of DNA markers has allowed the construction of linkage maps, assessment of genetic variability, and gene tagging in a variety of species (Sobral and Honeycutt, 1994).

Disentangling a polyploid genome [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Plants, 2017
The sequencing and draft assembly of the sweet potato genome has resolved much of its complex genetic redundancies, allowing a better inference of the botanical origin of the staple crop.

The Behaviour of Polyploids

Nature, 1927
MR. HUSKINS' description (NATURE, Jan. 8, p. 49) of the strict correlation he has observed between abnormal chromosome behaviour and abnormal breeding results in fatuoid oats encourages me to put forward suggestions based partly on analogous observations of my own.

Incompatibility in polyploids

Genetica, 1930
1. The theory of incompatibility in polyploids is discussed in detail, with special reference to thebehaviour of incompatibility in polyploids and the segregation of genetic types in polyploids of different constitution. 2. Cytological evidence is adduced for the tetraploid nature ofVerbascum phoeniceum.
