A new editorial was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on February 8, 2026, titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In this ...

The induction of polyploidy in plants represents a transformative approach in modern plant breeding, aimed at overcoming the genetic limitations inherent in many crop species. Polyploidisation, which ...

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 ...

A study has shown that different plant species tackle the same evolutionary hurdle in different ways, and the findings may give insight into aggressive forms of cancer. Whole genome duplication (WGD) ...

Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes, known as polyploids, are salt-tolerant or drought-resistant and often achieve higher yields. However, newly formed polyploid plants are often sterile or have ...

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 ...

Sand rock- cress (Arabidopsis arenosa) serves as a model for unravelling the mystery surrounding the sterility of newly formed polyploids. Most mammals and humans have a double set of chromosomes – ...
