Numerous plants also exist as polyploids, which represent a special case with regard to meiosis.

This historical approach, in minority at the time, was largely resumed during the '80. Nevertheless, recent analyses has shown that much remain to be studied to better understand the complex evolution of the XVIII century Saint-Domingue communities.
