A look at polyploidy and plant breeding
(Heighten Science Publications, 2022-11)Polyploidization is a process that generates genetic variability and therefore one of the engines of biological evolution. Since polyploidization produces important changes in the phenotype, mainly an increase in the size ... -
Deep cytogenetics analysis reveals meiotic recombination depletion in species of Senecio (Asteraceae)
(Springer Open, 2013-08)Background: Senecio is the largest genus in the Asteraceae family growing in all environments around the world. It displays taxonomic and systematical difficulties. Cytogenetic knowledge of this genus is ancient, scarce ... -
Effect of polyploidization in the production of essential oils in Lippia integrifolia
(2016-03)Consumption of medicinal and aromatic plants is widespread and increasing worldwide. Yet, harvesting from the wild, the main source of raw material in developing countries, is causing loss of genetic diversity and habitat ... -
Expanding the benefits of Tnt1 for the identification of dominant mutations in polyploid crops: A single allelic mutation in the MsNAC39 gene produces multifoliated alfalfa
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Most major crops are polyploid species and the production of genetically engineered cultivars normally requires the introgression of transgenic or gene-edited traits into elite germplasm. Thus, a main goal of plant research ... -
The “polyploid effect” in the breeding of aromatic and medicinal species
(Elsevier, 2020-01)The secondary metabolism of plants delivers a wide range of chemical structures with application for a vast array of activities, thus offering opportunities for social and economic development. Polyploidy is the possession ...
