Obtaining tetraploid plants of ruzigrass (Brachiaria ruziziensis)

Obtaining tetraploid plants of ruzigrass (Brachiaria ruziziensis)

The objective of the present work was to induce chromosome doubling in genotypes of Brachiaria ruziziensis with potential for production of good-quality biomass and tolerance/resistance to stress caused by aluminum and spittlebugs. Germinated seeds of B. ruziziensis were immersed in 0.1% colchicine...
