This document discusses polyploidy and its applications in various ornamental crops. It defines polyploidy as having more than two paired sets of chromosomes. There are two types: autopolyploidy which involves more than two copies of a single genome, and allopolyploidy which involves two or more genomes with each present in two copies. The document outlines traits that make species suitable for inducing polyploidy and lists effects of polyploidy. It then discusses specific examples of polyploidy in various ornamental crops like rose, gladiolus, dianthus, chrysanthemum, anthurium, dahlia, gerbera and jasmine. It concludes by
