The 32 pages that link to Polyploidy, each with the reason it gives.

• Plant domesticationRelated: Chromosome multiplication has contributed to the origins and traits of several cultivated plants.

• KaryotypeRelated: A chromosome count can reveal whole-genome set changes.

• Reproductive isolationRelated: A change in chromosome-set number can create immediate mating incompatibility, especially in plants.

• SpeciationRelated: A chromosome-number change can create immediate reproductive isolation, especially in plants.

• ApomixisRelated: Apomixis is common in several polyploid plant groups and complicates their breeding.

• ParthenocarpyRelated: Chromosome-number changes can cause seedlessness through failed embryo development rather than parthenocarpy.

• Brassica rapaRelated: Genome duplication in the species’ ancestry shaped its present-day genetic structure.

• CytokinesisRelated: Failed cytokinesis can leave a cell with multiple chromosome sets.

• Musa acuminataRelated: Chromosome-set multiplication helped shape the ancestry of cultivated bananas derived from this species.

• Citrus taxonomyRelated: Extra chromosome sets can shape citrus fertility, breeding, and the stability of hybrid lineages.

• ColchicineRelated: Colchicine can induce polyploidy by disrupting spindle formation during cell division.

• HybridRelated: Chromosome doubling can restore fertility in some otherwise sterile hybrids.

• SalixRelated: Chromosome-number changes contribute to variation and taxonomic complexity in some willows.

• GossypiumRelated: The cultivated allotetraploid cottons carry chromosome sets derived from two ancestral genomes.

• IsoetesRelated: Polyploidy and hybridization complicate evolutionary relationships among some quillworts.

• Plant reproductionRelated: Changes in chromosome number can affect fertility and generate plant lineages.

• Acorus calamusRelated: Chromosome-number variation among Acorus populations is associated with differences in chemistry and distribution.

• EmmerRelated: Emmer is tetraploid, with four chromosome sets inherited from its ancestors.

• New Mexico whiptailRelated: The species' hybrid origin is associated with elevated chromosome sets that support egg development.

• TaraxacumRelated: Polyploid chromosome numbers are common among apomictic dandelion lineages.

• CarassiusRelated: Some Carassius lineages have unusual chromosome sets associated with hybrid ancestry and reproduction.

• ColchicumRelated: Colchicine can induce chromosome doubling in plant breeding by disrupting cell division.

• RubusRelated: Multiple ploidy levels have contributed to the evolutionary complexity of Rubus.

• TriticaleRelated: Chromosome doubling helps stabilize triticale’s combined wheat and rye genomes.
