Doubling of chromosomes of pearl millet napier hybrids and preliminary screening based on stomatal characteristics
The objective of the present work was to induce chromosome doubling in sterile triploid pearl millet napier hybrids to develop fertile hexaploids. Colchicine, an alkaloid from Colchicum autumnale, was used for polyploidization. F1 seeds of the cross combination ICMV 05666 × FD 471 and setts of PMN h...
