Polyploidization is observed in all mammalian species and is a characteristic feature of hepatocytes, but its molecular mechanism and biological significance are unknown. Hepatocyte polyploidization ...

Polyploidization and coevolution with animals are two of the major drivers of plant diversification through their effect on ecologically important traits. Past studies have shown that coevolution with ...

Polyploidization is a useful tool for crop improvement with potential to generate new diversity, especially in a polyploid crop like bananas. Ten induced tetraploids generated from six diploid banana ...

Cannabis sativa L. is a diploid species, cultivated throughout the ages as a source of fiber, food, and secondary metabolites with therapeutic and recreational properties. Polyploidization is ...

Polyploidization has played an important role in plant evolution. However, upon polyploidization, the process of meiosis must adapt to ensure the proper segregation of increased numbers of chromosomes ...

Polyploidization, the increase in genome copies, is considered a major driving force for speciation. We have recently provided the first direct in planta evidence for polyspermy induced ...

In the plant kingdom, events of whole genome duplication or polyploidization are generally believed to occur via alterations of the sexual reproduction process. Thereby, diploid pollen and eggs are ...

Background How macrophages grow at sites of chronic inflammation is not well understood. In rheumatoid arthritis and several granulomatous autoimmune diseases, such as sarcoidosis, giant cell ...

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 ...

Aurora kinase B inhibitors induce apoptosis secondary to polyploidization and have entered clinical trials as an emerging class of neocytotoxic chemotherapeutics. We demonstrate here that ...
