Ploidy level is defined as the number of individual sets of chromosomes contained in a single cell. Many important crop plants, such as potato, soybean and wheat are polyploid. Although it is widely known that polyploidy is a frequent evolutionary event, it is not fully understand why polyploids have been so successful. In this work cluster analysis is employed to study gene expression changes in a maize inbred line (B73) across a range of polyploidy levels. The B73 ploidy series includes monoploid, diploid, triploid and tetraploid plants and consists of biological and technical replicates as measured by microarray technology. An …
