Colchicine is a widely used mitotic inhibitor for the induction of polyploidy in plants during their cell division by inhibiting the chromosome segregation. Different plant organs like seeds, apical …

2019年2月27日 · Colchicine is a potent antimitotic agent that induce polyploidization in plants. Induced polyploids provides genetic variation that is important to plant improvement and …

Colchicine is a toxic chemical that is often used to induce polyploidy in plants. Basically, the colchicine prevents the microtubule formation during cell division, thus the chromosomes do …

The specificities of the colchicine-treated plants may also be caused by strong selection pressures during the creation of synthetic polyploids. This could be tested by comparing the initial sizes …

To double the chromosome of plants using colchicine, scientists often soaked plant roots in colchicine solution 16, 31. Effects on treated plants were from water, colchicine and potential …

Thus, it can be concluded that 0.025% of colchicine can induce significant (p value < 0.05) mutation in the Nigella sativa plant, which may lead to alterations at morpho-physiological and …
