polyploid
polyploid Describing a nucleus that contains more than two sets of chromosomes (see
diploid) or a cell or organism containing such nuclei. For example,
triploid plants have three sets of chromosomes and
tetraploid plants have four. Polyploidy is far more common in plants than in animals; many crops, in particular, are polyploid (bread wheat, for example, is
hexaploid, i.e. 6
n). It can be induced chemically with
colchicine. See also
allopolyploid;
autopolyploid.
