Tetraploid black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) has advantages over diploid varieties in growth and stress resistance. Previous studies had shown that tetraploid black locust can be induced only by treating shoot tips of the germinating seeds with colchicine. In order to establish a simpler and mo...
