(Orchidaceae) boasts high ornamental value due to its pleasant aroma, foxtail spike, and elegant floral morphology. Inducing to become tetraploid enhances horticultural traits and facilitates fertile intergeneric hybrids through crosses with other market-available tetraploid species. The experimental design involved the application of colchicine at varying concentrations-0.

Background: Linton & Epling subsp. (Lamiaceae) is an aromatic medicinal plant, characterized by a high concentration of tilianin, a flavonoid with therapeutic potential in cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we have explored the use of colchicine to obtain autotetraploid lines of and analyze their morphological characteristics.

Polyploid plants often show improved resistance against many diseases, but whether they show increased resistance to grey mould, a devastating disease caused by Botrytis spp. fungi, is seldom reported. Stomata and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play dual roles in defence against grey mould, and it is unclear how their roles change after polyploidization.

Polyploidy in has great potential to improve its horticultural and commercial value, and to also meet market demands. In this study, a feasible method for polyploid induction in via colchicine treatment was established, and the obtained polyploid plants were identified and characterized. As a result, the stem bases of tissue-cultured plantlets treated with 0.
