A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, the Fox lab from Duke University, U.S., and the Roeder lab from Cornell ...

Scientists have long known that some cells in a given tissue undergo a process of duplicating their entire genome without dividing – a process called endopolyploidy, where cellular ploidy is the copy ...

Polyploidization, the combination and duplication of genomes, is a major driver of plant evolution and diversification. Yet this process causes "genome shock," leading to rapid activation of ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

Interest and adoption of polyploid computational tools have grown well beyond expectations, providing advances in the breeding of polyploid plants. David Byrne, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Research rose ...

BEIJING -- Scientists have successfully completed the world's first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of hexaploid bread wheat, marking a major breakthrough in wheat genome research. Wheat ...

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 ...
