Hi Martin,
I'll try to answer most of your messages privatly for brevity here.
Regarding your latest question, many interesting diploids would be
worth converting and might make lovely tetraploids. As you may
realize, the conversion process using colchicine actually produces
very few conversions. There are now however, pioneers such as Bob
Hollingworth, Kevin Vaughn, and others using pre-emergent herbicides
to convert diploids to tetraploids which may be giving vastly better
results than colchicine. To know the results of their experimental
work would probably be very beneficial and illuminating.
