Abstract
Diploid and autotetraploid Nicotiana Tabacum were compared with regard to competitive ability. It has been found that mere doubling of homologous chromosomes decreases the competitive ability of tobacco plants, a fact quite comparable to the finding in barley. A brief discussion is given on the different behaviour of auto- and allopolyploidy in related species with regard to competitive ability.Keywords
