Study on Induction of Tetraploid Mini Fruit Watermelon Using Colchicine and Oryzalin

Peng Liu

Abstract

Tetraploid mini fruit watermelon were induced using 0.2% colchicine and oryzalin with different concentration. The results showed that there was significant difference on tetraploid induction rate among different genotypes. The maximum could reached 26.3% and the minimum was only 1.4%. For oryzalin induction, tetraploid could also happen, but the induction rate was lower.
