Cytomorphological studies of Trigonella foenum-graecum autotetraploids in three (C sub(1), C sub(2), C sub(3)) generation

Induction of autotetraploidy has been achieved in Trigonella foenum-graecum (2n = 16) by cotton-swab method using 0.15% colchicine. The synthesized colchiploids (C sub(0)) were maintained for three successive generations (C sub(1), C sub(2), C sub(3)). Detailed morphocytological analysis has been ca...

Description
Summary:Induction of autotetraploidy has been achieved in Trigonella foenum-graecum (2n = 16) by cotton-swab method using 0.15% colchicine. The synthesized colchiploids (C sub(0)) were maintained for three successive generations (C sub(1), C sub(2), C sub(3)). Detailed morphocytological analysis has been carried out in each generation. A distinct enhancement in different vegetative parts was observed in the autotetraploids making them economically more useful.
