The impact of polyploidy on grass genome evolution
12/01/2002: 5,822 words, approx. 19 pages 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 progenitors) and a new species is formed. The...

Investigating polyploidy: Using marigold stomates & fingernail polish
05/01/2002: 2,818 words, approx. 9 pages Lost flowering plant species have more than two sets of chromosomes, a condition termed polyploidy (Bennett & Leitch 1997). Researchers have found that 70% or more of all flowering plants, and some 90% of ferns, contain three or more sets of chromosomes (Masterson 1994;...
