A caution. All the experiments on this involved complex tissue culture techniques, most with haploid (half normal number of chromosomes). As wheat is a hexaploid, a haploid wheat cell is 3n.

Interesting FB comment by someone asking where to buy caffeine to use
instead of Colchicine for turning diploids into tetraploids.

3 grams per liter.  Article about experimenting on wheat seeds.

I'm putting this info here at hortnet so if somebody wants the info,
I'll know where to send them to find it!
