Humans, and most species, are diploid: They have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Most plants are polyploid, with cells replicating again and again. Polyploidy is what fattens ...

Despite the higher levels of DNA damage in polyploid cells, they showed greater resistance to cisplatin than diploid cells. Credit: Cell Death Discovery (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-02206-w ...

Unlike most plants that inherit half of their genes from each parent, this seagrass is a polyploid, meaning it carries the entire genome of both parents. This genetic advantage may have allowed ...

eugenioides and C. canephora. The hybridization resulted in a polyploid genome, meaning each offspring contains two sets of chromosomes from each parent. This may have given C. arabica a survival ...

Genetic improvement involving hybridisation across ploidy levels (diploid, aneuploid or polyploid) is important in wide crossing involving polyploid plant species such as rice wild relatives and ...

This handbook contains a comprehensive collection of protocols to streamline imaging workflows and ensure reproducible ...

(B) After treatment with the anti-cancer drug cisplatin, polyploid cells accumulated more DNA damage than diploid cells. The bright spots in the image represent DNA damage, visualized by microscopy.
