Chromosome study in bromeliads

18 years ago

In the world of Orchids, everybody knows that tetraploid (4N) plants are very much attractive. They have extra large sized colorful flowers and trunks. This property is to be required for orchid lovers. Somebody uses genetic engineering to improved their plants.

Are there anything about tetraploid in the world of bromeliads? Has anyone do experiment about genetic engineering in bromeliads? What is the result?

Regards

Someone has probally tried. I don't see it being done unless its commercially viable for the cut flower trade. Tissue culture is serving the commercial growers on the broms grown for foliage color.
