To: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> Sir, This is related to earlier discussion - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/7-kRSVOxAMQ/sDatK69AGYAJ and part thereof - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/indiantreepix/WacK5j7fs1g. It seems to me that two flowers (*Crinum latifolium*) fused together! Why? Polyploidy, as had been explained in the above threads? Or, was it mutation in normal diploid cells? I tried to find.... but.... Polyploidy can result various alterations - 1. http://www.gardengenetics.com/gardengenetics/2011/01/polyploid-induction-i-----potential-benefits-to-the-end-user.html 2. http://www.gardengenetics.com/gardengenetics/2011/02/polyploid-induction-i-----potential-benefits-to-end-user.html 3. http://www.gardengenetics.com/gardengenetics/2011/02/polyploid-induction-iii-potential-drawbacks.html 4. http://plantbreeding.coe.uga.edu/index.php?title=5._Polyploidy Very tough for a layman - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-flowered#Genetics_of_double-flower_mutations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_model - http://biology.ucsd.edu/news/article_051000.html - http://www.google.com/patents/EP0578941A1?cl=en Can anybody please explain in simpler terms?
