Hyperploidy
Addition of one more chromosomes to diploid sets are called hyperploidy. Diploid set of chromosomes represented as Dismoy. Hyperploidy can be divided into three types. They are as follows:
(a) Trisomy
Addition of single chromosome to diploid set is called Simple trisomy (2n+1). Trisomics were first reported by Blackeslee (1910) in Datura stramonium (jimson weed). But later it was reported in Nicotiana Pisum and Oenothera. Sometimes addition of two individual chromosome from different chromosome pairs to normal diploid sets are called Double trisomy (2n+1+1).
(b) Tetrasomy
Addition of a pair or two individual pairs of chromosomes to diploid set is called tetrasomy (2n+2) and Double tetrasomy (2n+2+2) respectively. All possible tetrasomics are available in Wheat.
(c) Pentasomy
Addition of three individual chromosome from different chromosomal pairs to normal diploid set are called pentasomy (2n+3).
