Polyploidy in Angiosperms: Dicotyledons

  • Chapter
Polyploidy

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 13))

Abstract

As summarized by Goldblatt (1) in the previous article, “Polyploidy in angiosperms: monocotyledons,” recent estimates of polyploid frequency among angiosperms vary from 30–35% to 47%. The highest value is based on the postulation that haploid numbers in excess of n=13 would be mainly polyploid and those with n=13 or less would be predominantly diploid (2). On this basis 43% of dicotyledons and 58% of monocotyledons from a sample of 17,138 species were considered polyploid. Goldblatt (1) believes, however, that limiting Polyploidy to haploid numbers over n=13 is too conservative and that at least species with numbers of n=ll and above have Polyploidy in their evolutionary history, and perhaps also many of those with n=10 and n=9 may be aneuploid derivatives of ancestors with higher numbers. He suggests that at least 70% and most likely above 80% of monocotyledons are in some sense polyploid.

As it was not possible for the speaker assigned this tipic to attend the Conference, the Editor has written a synopsis, largely to give the reader and overall background and to provide sufficient reference for a more detailed study.
