Observation of Morphology of Wheat Sprouts That Receive Colchycin Treatment

Abstract

Genetic improvement to enhance wheat productivity and desirable traits can be achieved through various methods, including polyploidy induction. Colchicine (C22H25O6N) is an alkaloid extracted from the plant Colchicum autumnale and has the ability to induce polyploidization not only in plant cells but also in animal cells. Induction of polyploidy in plants using colchicine has been widely used for various purposes, including the development of superior parental lines and the improvement of wheat quality. Based on the research problem, this study aims to investigate the impact of colchicine on the morphology of wheat seedlings. To find out the answer to each problem in this study, the experimental method is used. By planting wheat and observing it directly.
