Abstract excerpt
Most organisms are diploid, meaning they only have two copies of each chromosome (one set inherited from each parent). Polyploid organisms have more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes. Many plant species are polyploid. Polyploid species cope better with stresses thanks to the redundancy in the chromosome copy number and dispose in this way a greater flexibility in gene expression. Allopolyploid...
