Endoreduplication is the major source of somatic endopolyploidy in higher plants, and leads
to variation in cell ploidy levels due to iterative rounds of DNA synthesis in the absence of …

Background Endoreduplication is the major source of endopolyploidy in higher plants. The
process of endoreduplication results from the ability of cells to modify their classical cell …

Enormous progress has been achieved understanding the molecular mechanisms
regulating endoreduplication. By contrast, how this process is coordinated with the cell cycle …

Endopolyploidy is a widespread process that corresponds to the amplification of the genome
in the absence of mitosis. In tomato, very high ploidy levels (up to 256C) are reached during …

As part of normal development most eukaryotic organisms, ranging from insects and
mammals to plants, display variations in nuclear ploidy levels resulting from somatic …

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 …

Highlights•Endoreplication occurs in many species and different cell types.•Endoreplication
often correlates with but does not appear to be a direct promoter of growth.•Endoreplication …

Endoreduplication, the replication of the genome without mitosis, leads to an increase in the
cellular ploidy of an organism over its lifetime, a condition termed 'endopolyploidy' …

Cells undergoing endoreduplication replicate chromosomal DNA without intervening
mitoses. The resulting larger, higher-ploidy nucleus is often associated with an increase in …

The fruit is a specialized organ, which results from the development of the ovary after
successful flower pollination and fertilization, and provides a suitable environment for seed …
