Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...
Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies. Polyploidy often occurs in human diseases and cancers, and its ...

Leading expert on plant evolution and speciation and professor of Iowa State University, Jonathan Wendel, presented his research Thursday on cotton genomes and polyploidy in his presentation “Genes, ...
An unassuming starfish species found around the world has a shocking amount of DNA hidden inside its cells. The brooding brittle star (Amphipholis squamata), which has a tiny disk-shaped body and long ...

A research team has elucidated the role of polyploidy in the evolution and breeding of vegetable crops, leveraging advanced sequencing technologies to dissect the genetic and epigenetic nuances of ...
Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes, known as polyploids, are salt-tolerant or drought-resistant and often achieve higher yields. However, newly formed polyploid plants are often sterile or have ...
