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, ...

Overall, induction of polyploidy in hiPSC‐CMs via AURKB inhibition increased cell size, transcription, and translation rates and mitochondrial abundance, reduced baseline cycling and responsiveness to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hybrid plants and animals have complicated genomes. A biologist has discovered a way to reveal their parent species. If you've ever kept a garden, you're probably familiar with hybrids, from ...
