Induction, identification and genetics analysis of tetraploid Actinidia chinensis.

ABSTRACT: Actinidia chinensis is a commercially important fruit, and tetraploid breeding of A. chinensis is of great significance for economic benefit. In order to obtain elite tetraploid cultivars, tetraploid plants were induced by colchicine treatment with leaves of diploid A. chinensis 'SWFU03'. The results showed that the best treatment was dipping leaves 30 h in 60 mg l-1 colchicine solutions, with induction rate reaching 26%. Four methods, including external morphology comparison, stomatal guard cell observation, chromosome number observation and flow cytometry analysis were used to identify the tetraploid of A. chinensis. Using the induction system and flow cytometry analysis methods, 187 tetraploid plants were identified. Three randomly selected tetraploid plants and their starting diploid p
