Is more better? Polyploidy and parasite resistance.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2012

King K C, Seppälä O, Neiman M

Abstract excerpt

Ploidy-level variation is common and can drastically affect organismal fitness. We focus on the potential consequences of this variation for parasite resistance. First, we elucidate connections between ploidy variation and key factors determining resistance, including allelic diversity, gene expression and physiological condition. We then argue that systems featuring both natural and artificially manipulated...
