Induced polyploidy in plack pepper (Piper nigrum L.)
Abstract
Induced polyploidy in a hybrid cultivar of black pepper Panniyur-1 is reported. Open-pollinated seeds were used for polyploidy induction. One tetraploid of Panniyur-I with 104 chromosomes in somatic cells was recovered from plants raised from seeds treated with 0.05% colchicine. The plant was vigorous and possessed all the polyploid syndromes.
