Some species of cotton that we grow are polypodies that probably arose originally ... chemical called colchicine obtained from autumn crocuses. This chemical allows the chromosomes to reproduce, but prevents the formation of two separate cells. The number of chromosomes in the nucleus is therefore doubled. Several of these new polyploid varieties promise to be very useful.

Recent breeding programs have led to highly inbred wheats. ...
