This review aims to highlight the significance of polyploidy in flowering and ornamental plants, focusing on its induction methods and effects.
Discussed natural and artificial polyploidization techniques, including the use of antimitotic agents like colchicine and oryzalin.
Analyzed both in vivo and in vitro methods for inducing polyploidy in plants.
Reviewed morphological, physiological, and quality changes resulting from polyploidization.
Polyploid plants exhibited increased organ size and biomass production, enhancing yield (specific metrics not provided).
Demonstrated improved tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, leading to superior plant resilience.
Highlighted the potential of polyploidy to enhance flower size and aesthetic quality in ornamental crops.
