Production of Tetraploid Plants from Cotyledons of Diploid Melia volkensii Gürke
Horticulturae, 2023 Polyploidy was induced in Melia volkensii (Mukau), a valuable native tree from the semi-arid regions of East Africa. Cotyledons of diploid M. volkensii (2n = 2x = 28) were treated with oryzalin for 0 (control), 1, 2, or 3 h with or without pretreatment ...
