Polyploidy in the adult Drosophila brain
eLife, 2020 Long-lived cells such as terminally differentiated postmitotic neurons and glia must cope with the accumulation of damage over the course of an animal’s lifespan. How long-lived cells deal with ageing-related damage is poorly understood.

Regulated polyploidy in halophilic archaea [PDF]
, 2006 Polyploidy is common in higher eukaryotes, especially in plants, but it is generally assumed that most prokaryotes contain a single copy of a circular chromosome and are therefore monoploid.

BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Facilitated by the rapid progress of sequencing technology, comparative genomic studies in plants have unveiled recurrent whole genome duplication (i.e. polyploidization) events throughout plant evolution.

Whole-Genome Doubling as a source of cancer: how, when, where, and why?
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Chromosome instability is a well-known hallmark of cancer, leading to increased genetic plasticity of tumoral cells, which favors cancer aggressiveness, and poor prognosis.

Cytotaxonomical aspects of Antarctic mosses, with special reference to the proportion of polyploidy
Antarctic Record, 1994 The evolutionary tendency concerning karyological features, especially the proportion of polyploidy and infraspecific polyploidy in Antarctic mosses is reviewed.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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 ...

Polyploidy on Islands: Its Emergence and Importance for Diversification
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Whole genome duplication or polyploidy is widespread among floras globally, but traditionally has been thought to have played a minor role in the evolution of island biodiversity, based on the low proportion of polyploid taxa present. We investigate five

Crop Journal, 2023 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 Gymnosperms [PDF]
Evolution, 1959 The gymnosperms constitute a primitive group of seed plants which have a considerable evolutionary interest. A substantial amount of literature on the morphology of the group exists, but very little has been written about the various cytogenetic factors responsible for evolution within the group.
