  • In flowering plants, many studies by inter-ploidy crosses and other experimental approaches showed parental origin-dependent differences of genes located on homologous chromosomes during seed development —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • Three QTLs responsible for mean ploidy were detected between umc2324 and umc2059 on chromosome —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • It is interesting to note that the QTL on chromosome 7 for the percentage of endoreduplicated nuclei is located at a similar position on the same chromosome as one affecting mean ploidy, suggesting that this is a pleiotropic QTL with an effect on the two different but correlated endoreduplication traits. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • We applied the QF statistic to estimate the differences between histograms of DNA content (ploidy) in cells of old and young leaf tissue of Brassica campestris. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • Variation in chromosome count (ploidy) is impossible in evolution. —  Conservapedia - Recent changes [en]
