Ploidy level manipulations in potato through sexual hybridisation (2005, unknown): “Scaling up and down whole chromosome sets represents a powerful strategy to produce new genetic material for breeding purposes and genetic studies (Ramanna & Jacobsen, 2003).”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “Since inducing polyploidy is an important tool in agriculture and horticulture to breed and improve new cultivars (Väinölä, 2000; Ramanna and Jacobsen, 2003), deliberate introductions of crops and ornamental plants are more likely to be polyploid due to previous breeding programmes.”
