Bulbil formation in stress: Crucial role of triploid fitness in mixed ploidy dynamics in Costus speciosus

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Upon prolonged waterlogging, a Costus speciosus plant developed bulbils at stem node. Karyotype analysis, nucleolar staining, and anatomical study revealed its triploid status and developmental aspects. Prevalence of tetraploid, abundance, and unique reproductive fecundity of the triploid, indicates its determinant role in coexistence of the multiple ...
