Polyploidy in <i>Rhododendron fortunei</i> has great potential to improve its horticultural and commercial value, and to also meet market demands. In this study, a feasible method for polyploid induction in <i>R. fortunei</i> via colchicine treatment was established, and the obtained polyploid plants were identified and characterized. As a result, the stem bases of tissue-cultured plantlets treated with 0.1% colchicine for 24 h showed the highest polyploid induction with a rate of 36.67%. By flo ...[more]
