Abstract

Compared to animals, polyploidy is successful in plants because their developmental processes are much simpler (Fankhauser 1945; Stebbins 1950). The actual incidence of frequency in various plant lineages has been proved difficult to determine, despite numerous attempts over the past 100 years to estimate the frequency of polyploidy in plants (Table 3.1). The phenomenon is comparatively little studied in the thallophytes.
