秋水仙素被利用来处理高等植物的根、胚轴、茎和花粉管等都会诱发产生多倍体。Gevassimov 是第一位用秋水仙素来处理水绵,产生多倍体水绵。经过处理的水绵,细胞核的体积加大。最近也曾有人在其他藻类方面进行这方面的工作,得到相同效果。 我国科学工作者,曾经用秋水仙素注射到海带的柄部,一个月以后重量增加,约为对照的一倍。但他们没有在配子时期或幼孢子体时期进行秋水仙素的浸泡处理。为 Colchicine has been used to treat higher plant roots, hypocotyls, stems and pollen tubes and so will induce polyploidy. Gevassimov was the first to treat a sponge with colchicine to create a polyploid sponge. Processed sponge, the nucleus of the volume increase. Recently, some people have done the same work on other algae and have achieved the same result. Our scientists, who used colchicine injection to the handle of the kelp, gained weight one month later, about twice as much as the control. However, they did not soak colchicine in the gametophyte or in the period of myceliospora. for
