Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Seedling treatment with aqueous colchicine produced Apium graveolens autotetraploids.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment for the same duration failed to produce autotetraploids.
- Observation Autotetraploids flowered later and initially grew slowly.
- Observation Autotetraploids had reduced plant height.
- Observation Autotetraploids had larger stomata and pollen diameter.
- Observation Autotetraploids had reduced stomatal frequency, branch number, and pollen stainability.
- Observation Bivalents were more common than quadrivalents, trivalents, and univalents in autotetraploids.
