  2. Polyploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy

    Speciation via polyploidy: A diploid cell undergoes failed meiosis, producing diploid gametes, which self-fertilize to produce a tetraploid zygote. Polyploidy is frequent in plants, some estimates suggesting that 30–80% of living plant species are polyploid, and many lineages show evidence of ancient polyploidy (paleopolyploidy) in their genomes.

  4. Ploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ploidy

    A study comparing the karyotypes of endangered or invasive plants with those of their relatives found that being polyploid as opposed to diploid is associated with a 14% lower risk of being endangered, and a 20% greater chance of being invasive. [60] Polyploidy may be associated with increased vigor and adaptability. [61]

  5. Hybridization in perennial plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridization_in_perennial...

    In plants, hybridization mostly generates speciation events, [5] and commonly produces polyploid species. Factors like polyploidy events also plays significant factors for understanding the hybridization events (Example: an F1 hybrid of Jatropha curcas x Ricinus communis ), [ 6 ] because these polyploids tend to have an advantage for the early ...

  6. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication is a product of nondisjunction during meiosis which results in additional copies of the entire genome. Polyploidy is common in plants, but it has also occurred in animals, with two rounds of whole genome duplication in the vertebrate lineage leading to humans. [4]

  7. Diploidization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploidization

    Once a polyploid is made, either synthetically or naturally, the genome goes through a period of "genome shock". Genome shock can be defined as a stage in which the genome experiences massive reorganization and structural changes to deal with the external stress (X-ray damage, chromosome duplication, etc.) imposed upon the genome. [ 7 ]

  8. Variation and Evolution in Plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_and_Evolution_in...

    First edition, 1950 (publ. Columbia University Press) Variation and Evolution in Plants is a book written by G. Ledyard Stebbins, published in 1950.It is one of the key publications embodying the modern synthesis of evolution and genetics, as the first comprehensive publication to discuss the relationship between genetics and natural selection in plants.

  9. Endoreduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoreduplication

    [1] [2] While endoreduplication is often limited to specific cell types in animals, it is considerably more widespread in plants, such that polyploidy can be detected in the majority of plant tissues. [5] Polyploidy and aneuploidy are common phenomena in cancer cells. [6]
