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

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Allopolyploidization, resulting in divergent genomes in the same cell, is believed to trigger a “genome shock”, leading to broad genetic and ...

The Drosophila melanogaster abdominal epithelium provides a good model for understanding how postmitotic diploid cells contribute to repair upon tissue damage. Losick et al. show that, after puncture ...

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 ...

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 ...
