Ploidy identification of doubled chromosome number plants in Viola x wittrockiana M 1-generation

The aim of this study was to develop a protocol for production of polyploid M1-generation plants of Viola x wittrockiana. Two variants of colchicine treatment were compared for their efficiency. Early detection of novel ploidy levels was achieved by screening of stomata size, leaf index value (leaf...

Summary:The aim of this study was to develop a protocol for production of polyploid M1-generation plants of Viola x wittrockiana. Two variants of colchicine treatment were compared for their efficiency. Early detection of novel ploidy levels was achieved by screening of stomata size, leaf index value (leaf blade length/width), and other morphological characteristics of the M1-generation. Secondary screening for novel ploidy levels was performed by flow cytometry (FCM). Hexadecaploid, aneuploid, and mixoploid plants were successfully identified by FCM.
