Abstract After the diploid yellow peel watermelon 2608 was treated with 0.2% colchicine,the mutation characters of organs and the physiological changes were investigated. The reliability of different identification methods of tetraploid mutation was compared with each other,and the outer coloration situations of the yellow peel watermelon fruits with different ploid level or different genotypes were analyzed. The results indicated that identification of tetraploid mutation by crossign diploid watermelon with...
