Abstract excerpt
Endoreduplication is the process where a cell replicates its genome without mitosis and cytokinesis, often followed by cell differentiation. This alternative cell cycle results in various levels of endoploidy, reaching 4× or higher one haploid set of chromosomes. Endoreduplication is found in animals and is widespread in plants, where it plays a major role in cellular differentiation and plant development. Here,...
