Abstract
M. chamomilla is a diploid species (2n = 18) the flowers of which are an important source "blue oil". Improvement through artificial chromosome doubling [with colchicine] resulted in larger and longer lasting capitula. Tetraploids showed typical autoploid meiotic behavior and normal fertility.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
