In vitro chromosome doubling can be induced by several antimitotic agents. The most
commonly used are colchicine, oryzalin and trifluralin. The process of induced chromosome …

Polyploidy means having more than two basic sets of chromosomes. Polyploid plants may
be artificially obtained through chemical, physical and biological (2 n gametes) methods …

Autopolyploidy is advantageous for plant metabolism in terms of elevated rates of synthesis
or a higher variability of metabolically relevant compounds. In the present study, successful …

Grasses from the genus Miscanthus are becoming a key renewable raw material for energy
production. The aim of this study was to find a suitable treatment combination that would …

Simple Summary The amount of hereditary information (DNA) contained in the cell nuclei of
larger or more complex organisms is often no greater than that of smaller or simpler …

Urochloa (including Brachiaria, Megathyrus and some Panicum) tropical grasses are native
to Africa and are now, after selection and breeding, planted worldwide, particularly in South …

As a model plant, poplar 84 K (Populus alba× P. glandulosa) plays a key role in fundamental
research in forest molecular biology. Poplar 84 K is a suitable plant for in vitro polyploidy …

In this study, flow cytometric analysis was used to evaluate the genetic stability of Passiflora
cincinnata Mast. plants regenerated via primary and secondary somatic embryogenesis …

Abstract Tetraploid Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa plants were induced by combining the
adventitious shoot organogenesis from leaf explants and polyploidization with colchicine …

Fruit of colchicine-induced tetraploids of Actinidia chinensis were 50% to 60% larger than
those of their diploid progenitors. In addition to fruit size, fruit quality is a key issue in any …
