Re: Re:HYB:Colchicine

Haven't there been seedlings produced from colchicine induced tetraploids
before they reverted back to diploids that proved to be stable tetraploids?
Seems like the value derived from induced tetraploidy might be via this
route rather than those that had direct treatment of colchicine.  Seems like
I read this about some of Norris's (or maybe it was Mathes) efforts.
