Description
Li Wang and co-authors induce tetraploidy in the orchid Aerides rosea with colchicine, and show how to identify the doubled plants. Their 2024 paper deals with an orchid valued for its aroma, foxtail spike, and elegant flowers.
Tetraploid plants can have better horticultural traits and can cross with other tetraploid species to give fertile hybrids. Colchicine was applied at three concentrations to six-week-old protocorms on a solid medium, for five, ten, or fifteen days. Protocorms were sensitive above the lowest dose, and high doses killed more than half. Flow cytometry with a DNA stain confirmed doubled chromosome numbers in the tetraploid plants.
