Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a novel approach to produce autopolyploid plants of Viola x wittrockiana Gams. Pirna group.
Two variants of colchicine treatment were used to induce chromosome doubling and their efficiency was compared.
Early detection of novel ploidy levels was performed by screening guard cell size, leaf index value (leaf blade length/width) and other morphological characteristics.
Subsequent screening of novel ploidy levels was performed by DNA flow cytometry (FCM).
