Abstract excerpt
Ploidy and size phenomena are observed to be correlated across several biological scales, from subcellular to organismal. Two kinds of ploidy change can affect plants. Whole-genome multiplication increases ploidy in whole plants and is broadly associated with increases in cell and organism size. Endoreduplication increases ploidy in individual cells. Ploidy increase is strongly correlated with increased cell size...
