Polyploid plants carry multiple ancestral genomes within a single nucleus, a condition that can boost adaptability but also trigger internal genetic conflict.

UConn Center on Aging researchers have published a new editorial in the journal Aging titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Polyploid crops often display enhanced vigor, larger organs, and unique reproductive behaviors, making polyploidization a powerful breeding tool. A recent study identified how a single gene, ClOSD1, ...

Background: Reestablishing epithelial integrity and biosynthetic capacity is critically important following tissue damage. The adult Drosophila abdominal epithelium provides an attractive new system ...

Polyploidization often occurs more than once along an evolutionary lineage to form extant plants. Major core eudicot plants share a whole-genome triplication (ceWGT), through which thousands of ...

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, ...

As a major driving force of evolution, polyploidy (genome duplication) is ubiquitous across different evolutionary stages of the flowering plant tree of life. However, the interactions between the ...

Polyploidization and multinucleation might be the consequence of arrested cell proliferation rather than its cause. Inhibition of epithelial cell transforming 2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor ...
