The Unique Existence of Chromosomal Abnormality in Polyploidy Plants

Abstract

It is commonly acknowledged that chromosomal abnormality is the popular natural phenomenon especially with polyploidy plants. The unique existence in plants has actually become one of major forces for speciation and evolution. This means that plants existing chromosomal abnormality developing through sexual and asexual pathways shed light on increasing biomass, adapting ecology so these benefits are more important and worth exploring. With regard to the former, chromosomal abnormality plants lead to not only gigantic effect but also increasing phytochemical compounds. As far as ecological perspectives are concerned, this abnormality enhances biotic and abiotic tolerance to adapt to climate change. These things also answer a question why plants can commonly exist with many kinds of chromosomal abnormalities. Based on aforementioned benefits, this review provides human beings with several chances when they need in developing the food security strategies.
