Abstract

Young seedlings of Phlox drummondii were treated with colchicine. Plants showing characteristic features of interchange (translocation), and colchitetraploidy during meiosis were isolated. The interchange heterozygote exhibited a lot of variation in petal character and therefore these two characters appear to be correlated. The colchiploid exhibited usual characteristic features of autopolyploidy.
