Plants, 2022 The application of polyploidy in sustainable agriculture has already brought much appreciation among researchers. Polyploidy may occur naturally or can be induced in the laboratory using chemical or gaseous agents and results in complete chromosome ...

Current Biology, 2015 Polyploidy is defined as an increase in genome DNA content. Throughout the plant and animal kingdoms specific cell types become polyploid as part of their differentiation programs. When this occurs in subsets of tissues within an organism it is termed somatic polyploidy, because it is distinct from the increase in ploidy that is inherited through the ...

Polyploidy Studies in Viticulture
Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2015 Seedless table grapes are the most preferred grapes by the consumers. Stenospermocarpy and parthenocarpy are the natural causes of seedlessness in breeding studies. The most significant characteristic of seedless grapes are their small sized and seedless

Polyploidization in Orchids: From Cellular Changes to Breeding Applications
Plants, 2022 Polyploidy occurs naturally in plants through cell division errors or can artificially be induced by antimitotic agents and has ecological effects on species adaptation, evolution, and development.

Evaluation of tetraploid induction in forage sorghum cultivar “Omid-Bakhsh” using colchicine treatment [PDF]
Dysona. Applied Science, 2020 Polyploidy induction can be used as a method to improve forage quality and crop yield. Additionally, autopolyploidy may play a key role in tolerance pathways of biotic and abiotic stresses, such as nutrient deficiency, drought, extreme temperatures ...

The Influence of Geographical Factors on Polyploidy in Angiosperms with Cartographic Evidence from the Northwestern Himalayas: A Review [PDF]
Nature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2023 The review paper comprised the impact of geographical and environmental factors on polyploidy and vice versa. The review covers different effects of geographical factors, like spatial isolation, altitude, and local climate on polyploidy, and the behavior

New Phytologist, 2010 Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) has played a pervasive role in the evolution of fungi and animals, and is particularly prominent in plants (Wendel & Doyle, 2005; Cui et al., 2006; Otto, 2007; Wood et al., 2009). This important evolutionary phenomenon has attracted renewed and growing interest from the scientific community in the last decade since

A role for polyploidy in the tumorigenicity of Pim-1-expressing human prostate and mammary epithelial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundPolyploidy is a prominent feature of many human cancers, and it has long been hypothesized that polyploidy may contribute to tumorigenesis by promoting genomic instability.

Polyploidy and the proteome [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2016 Although major advances have been made during the past 20 years in our understanding of the genetic and genomic consequences of polyploidy, our knowledge of polyploidy and the proteome is in its infancy. One of our goals is to stimulate additional study, particularly broad-scale proteomic analyses of polyploids and their progenitors. Although it may be

Evolutionary and Genomic Diversity of True Polyploidy in Tetrapods
Animals, 2023 True polyploid organisms have more than two chromosome sets in their somatic and germline cells. Polyploidy is a major evolutionary force and has played a significant role in the early genomic evolution of plants, different invertebrate taxa, chordates ...
