Abstract
Uniformity in tetraploid progenies of certain floriculture species is much higher than in comparable diploid progenies. The reduced variation at the tetraploid level is mainly attributed to the buffering effect of tetrasomic inheritance and partly to preferential pairing in allopolyploids. Practical use can be made of this phenomenon in the breeding and propagation of polyploid crops.
