The Variable Effect of Polyploidization on the Phenotype in Escallonia

The Variable Effect of Polyploidization on the Phenotype in Escallonia

To induce new variation within the Escallonia genus, chromosome doubling was performed in E. rubra, E. rosea, and E. illinita, three important species within this genus of mainly evergreen woody ornamental species. Obtained tetraploids and diploid controls were analyzed for rooting capacity, leaf an...
