Ploidy Variation in Fungi: Polyploidy, Aneuploidy, and Genome Evolution

Abstract: The ability of an organism to replicate and segregate its genome with high fidelity is vital to its survival and for the production of future generations. Errors in either of these steps (replication or segregation) can lead to a change in ploidy or chromosome number. While these drastic genome changes can be detrimental to the organism, resulting in decreased fitness, they can also provide increased fitness during periods of stress. A change in ploidy or chromosome number can fundamentally change how a cell s… Show more

“…Our analysis and that of others (reviewed in Todd et al, 2017) show that S. cerevisiae strains with higher initial ploidy are also generally more likely to be aneuploid (Figure 3). WGD has played an important role in the diversification and evolution of Saccharomyces yeast (Albertin et al, 2009).…”

“…The host's attempts at defence include phagocytosis (digestion of cells by phagocytes) and the adaptive immune response, resulting in a stressful situation for the invading pathogen (Romani, 2004). In response, some pathogenic cells change ploidy or become aneuploid upon invasion of their host (reviewed in Todd, Forcher, & Selmecki, 2017).…”

“…Failures in kinetochore assembly and attachment increase the probability of chromosome mis-segregation leading to aneuploidy (55). While these drastic genome changes can be detrimental to the organism, formation of aneuploidy and polyploidy is an important strategy orchestrated by pathogens to adapt to the environment during periods of stress (56). Polyploidy and aneuploidy are prevalent in Phytophthora natural isolates and progeny from sexual reproduction (35, 5760).…”

“…More than 70% of flowering plants are polyploid (Meyers and Levin 2006) including many crops essential for human consumption and use, including apples, bananas, potatoes, strawberries, and wheat (Renny-Byfield and Wendel 2014). Higher ploidy levels have also been documented in many fungal species (Todd, Forche, and Selmecki 2017). Polyploidy in animals is less common than in these other taxa, but is far from rare, including many species of frogs (Novikova et al 2019), fish (Comber and Smith 2004), crustaceans and molluscs (Goldman, LoVerde, and Chrisman 1983), as well as many species of nematodes (Szitenberg et al 2017).…”
