Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Breeding for polyploidy in Brassica campestris L. has been employed to enhance agronomic traits. Polyploid plants exhibit improved productivity due to the 'gigas' effect driven by chromosome doubling. In our previous study, autotetraploids were induced in Pakchoi (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis) via colchicine, resulting in two distinct autotetraploid genotypes: gigantic genotype 'P4x-3' with...
