autopoliploidia
1. A condition in organisms, particularly plants, where there are more than two complete sets of chromosomes that are all derived from the same species
Autopolyploidy occurs when a plant has multiple chromosome sets from its own genome, such as a triploid or tetraploid organism derived from a single species.
A autopoliploidia ocorre quando uma planta possui múltiplos conjuntos de cromossomos de seu próprio genoma, como em organismos triploides ou tetraploides derivados de uma única espécie.
2. In genetics, the state of having polyploidy where all chromosome sets are homologous and originate from the same parental species
The wheat variety showed autopolyploidy with four complete sets of chromosomes from the same ancestral species.
A variedade de trigo apresentava autopoliploidia com quatro conjuntos completos de cromossomos da mesma espécie ancestral.
Autopolyploidy is primarily a scientific and academic term used in genetics, botany, and agricultural research across both Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking countries. It is particularly relevant in crop breeding and evolutionary biology studies. The term maintains its Latin-derived form across both English and Portuguese scientific literature, reflecting the international nature of genetic research.
