Polyploidy is thought to be an evolutionary and systematic mechanism for gene flow and phenotypic advancement in flowering plants. It is a natural phenomenon that promotes diversity by creating new permutations enhancing the prime potentials as compared to progenitors. Two different pathways have been recognized in studying polyploidy in nature; mitotic or somatic chromosome doubling and cytogenetics variation.

In the event of exposure to high doses of radiation, prompt dose estimation is crucial for selecting appropriate treatment modalities, such as cytokine therapy or stem cell transplantation. The chemical-induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC) method offers a simple approach for such dose estimation with significant radiation exposure, but its 48-h incubation time poses challenges for early dose assessment. In this study, we optimized the chemical-induced PCC assay for more rapid dose assessment.

I previously reported chromosomal damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBLs) induced by: a) mobile telephony (MT) electromagnetic fields (EMFs)/electromagnetic radiation (EMR), b) a high caffeine dose, and c) the combination of the two stressors. HPBLs from the same subjects exposed to gamma radiation at doses 0.1, 0.

The doubled haploid (DH) technology is employed worldwide in various crop-breeding programs, especially maize. Still, restoring tassel fertility is measured as one of the major restrictive factors in producing DH lines. Colchicine, nitrous oxide, oryzalin, and amiprophosmethyl are common chromosome-doubling agents that aid in developing viable diploids (2n) from sterile haploids (n).
