Biological role of endopolyploidy in flowering plants
Anotace anglicky
Endopolyploidy (EP) is a programmed process where cells multiply their genome without subsequent cell division. For many plant species, EP likely contributes to the development of their vegetative parts, yet its exact role in plant growth and adaptation to specific ecological settings remains speculative. This is mainly due to the plastic nature of EP, which challenges its accurate quantification and cross-species comparison, the lack of anatomical observations of EP cell occurrence, and the absence of experimental proof for suggested EP functions. In this project, we will screen EP using a standardized methodology in the largest species sample to date from several plant groups (spring geophytes, alpine plants, grasses, succulents). In selected species, we will perform detailed anatomical observations of EP cell occurrence and other growth-related anatomical traits to test several of our new ideas about EP function in plants. The validity of these ideas will be tested in two manipulative experiments.
