Plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars and oxygen in various ways (photosynthesis).

Genome duplication probably gave biodiversity a decisive evolutionary boost. A Chinese-German research team led by Axel Meyer from the University of Konstanz has now investigated the early phases of ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
