The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms. This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope .
The first complete plant genome assembly (also the first plant genome published) that used this type of technique was Arabidopsis thaliana, in 2000. [12] Different large-insert libraries like BACs, P1 artificial chromosomes (PAC), yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) and transformation-competent artificial chromosomes (TACs) were combined to ...
Artificial chromosomes are manufactured chromosomes in the context of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or human artificial chromosomes (HACs). An artificial chromosome can carry a much larger DNA fragment than other vectors. [9] YACs and BACs can carry a DNA fragment up to 300,000 nucleotides long.

In plants, hybridization mostly generates speciation events, [5] and commonly produces polyploid species. Factors like polyploidy events also plays significant factors for understanding the hybridization events (Example: an F1 hybrid of Jatropha curcas x Ricinus communis ), [ 6 ] because these polyploids tend to have an advantage for the early ...
An image of multiple chromosomes, taken from many cells. Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity specifically in plants. [1] [2] It is generally considered a field of biology and botany, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.
Two examples of natural autopolyploids are the piggyback plant, Tolmiea menzisii [19] and the white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanum. [20] Most instances of autopolyploidy result from the fusion of unreduced (2 n ) gametes, which results in either triploid ( n + 2 n = 3 n ) or tetraploid (2 n + 2 n = 4 n ) offspring. [ 21 ]
Polytene chromosomes of plants and fruit flies can be 1024-ploid. [36] [37] Ploidy of systems such as the salivary gland, elaiosome, endosperm, and trophoblast can exceed this, up to 1048576-ploid in the silk glands of the commercial silkworm Bombyx mori. [38] The chromosome sets may be from the same species or from closely related species.
