Gall oak has a large ecological adaptability landscape and social importance it is share of the natural wealth great economic value. Polyploidy deducted in this study through pre-screened directly by determining stomata guard cell length then confirmed quantifying DNA content using SCoT-PCR analysis. Depending as method we found maximum tetraploids (4n) mixoploids (3n) plants were induced chlci...

Polyploidy is a major evolutionary process in eukaryotes-particularly in plants and, to a less extent, in animals, wherein several past and recent whole-genome duplication events have been described. Surprisingly, the incidence of polyploidy in other eukaryote kingdoms, particularly within fungi, remained largely disregarded by the scientific community working on the evolutionary consequences o...

Polyploid cells are encountered ubiquitously but the biological significance of polyploidy is unclear. In view of their extensive capacity for regeneration, hepatocytes offer excellent systems for analyzing growth control mechanisms. We isolated hepatocytes from adult rats with and without two-third partial hepatectomy, which induces hepatic polyploidy. Polyploid hepatocytes showed evidence for...

Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been considered an evolutionary dead end, whereas recent genomic studies suggest that polyploidy has been a key driver of macroevolutionary success. We examined the consequences of polyploidy on the time scale of genera a...

genus onobrychis is an important forage crop consisting of approximately 130 annual and perennial species. the present research focused on the cytological studies of embryogenic (e) and non-embryogenic (ne) callus as well as root meristem cells of in vitro and in vivo grown plants. on the contrary to the previous studies, a diploid viciifolia variety with 2n= 2x= 16 chromosomes was observed for...

INTRODUCTION Polyploidy is an intriguing phenomenon in plants that has provided an important pathway for evolution and speciation. Although the first polyploid was discovered over a century ago, the genetic and evolutionary implications of polyploidy are still being elucidated (Bennett, 2004; Soltis et al., 2003). On a more practical level, there are many opportunities for utilizing polyploidy ...

Polyploidy is an evolutionary process whereby two or more genomes are brought together into the same nucleus, usually by hybridization followed by chromosome doubling. As a result, the new polyploid is genetically isolated from its diploid progenitor(s) and a new species is formed. The importance of polyploidy was recognized early in the 20th century and for the past decades many studies have a...
