Induction of Tetraploids from Petiole Explants through Colchicine Treatments in Echinacea purpurea L.

Petiole explants were obtained from in vitro grown diploid (2x=22) Echinacea purpurea plantlets. Shoots were regenerated by culturing the explants on MS basal medium containing 0.3 mg/L benzyladenine (BA), 0.01 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and four concentrations (30, 60, 120, and 240 mg/L) of...
