In some cases, polyploidy is an important phenomenon in the evolution of fruit crops. Polyploidy can be used in fruit breeding programs to develop varieties with higher yields and better fruit quality, as well as better adaptation to adverse ...

This review summarizes the current status of the known extant genuine polyploid anuran and urodelan species, as well as spontaneously originated and/or experimentally produced amphibian polyploids. The mechanisms by which polyploids can originate, the meiotic pairing configurations, the diploidization processes operating in polyploid genomes, the ...

Heterosis and polyploidy have an overwhelming influence on plant evolution. Recently, polyploid rice hybrids have been used to breed new rice varieties because they combine the advantages of both heterosis and polyploidy.

Polyploidy in the Conifer Genus Juniperus: An Unexpectedly High Rate
Recent research suggests that the frequency of polyploidy may have been underestimated in gymnosperms. One notable example is in the conifer genus Juniperus, where there are already a few reports of polyploids although data are still missing for most ...

Polyploidy induction of raspberry species (Rubus) using colchicine and oryzalin
Raspberry (Rubus spp.) is a fruit crop used in many products across the United States. Commercial production of raspberry in North Dakota is challenging due to lack of cultivars with winter hardiness.

Production of autotetraploid plants by in vitro chromosome engineering in Allium hirtifolium
Persian shallot has been propagated vegetatively through daughter bulbs and has a narrow genetic base. In the present study, to create genetic diversity in terms of ploidy level, the effects of in vitro polyploidization were investigated on morphological,

Tapak Liman (Elephantopus scaber) crude extract induces polyploidy in shallot root (Allium cepa war ascalonium (L)) [PDF]
This study investigates the impact of induction time and concentration of Tapak Liman (Elephantopus scaber) crude extract on the effectiveness of polyploidy in shallot root (Allium cepa var ascalonium (L).

It is currently not well understood how cells regulate basic properties, e.g., volume and mechanics within dense multicellular environments like tumors. Here, we show that different cell types of cancer and also normal cells largely decrease their nuclear and cellular volumes in emerging cell clusters and that this is partly driven by cell cycle shifts.
