allopolyploid
allopolyploid A
polyploid organism, usually a plant, that contains multiple sets of chromosomes derived from different species. Hybrids are usually sterile, because they do not have sets of
homologous chromosomes and therefore
pairing cannot take place. However, if doubling of the chromosome number occurs in a hybrid derived from two diploid (2
n) species, the resulting tetraploid (4
n) is a fertile plant. This type of tetraploid is known as an
allotetraploid; as it contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, pairing and crossing over are now possible. Allopolyploids are of great importance to plant breeders as advantages possessed by different species can be combined. The species of wheat,
Triticum aestivum, used to make bread is an
allohexaploid (6
n), possessing 42 chromosomes, which is six times the original haploid number (
n) of 7. See also
amphidiploid. Compare
autopolyploid.
