Variety traits

Alstroemeria Ploidy

Alstroemeria L.

Alstroemeria are represented by both diploid wild species with a chromosome number of 2n=16 and modern hybrid cultivars possessing triploid or tetraploid chromosome sets.

In the reference 19 varieties crop Alstroemeria, where this is mentioned in the description.

Wild species of the genus Alstroemeria are predominantly diploid with a base chromosome number of n=8, resulting in a diploid set of 2n=16. In commercial floriculture, most cultivars are interspecific hybrids that may have a triploid (2n=24) or tetraploid (2n=32) ploidy level.

A high ploidy level, especially in triploid forms, is often accompanied by pollen sterility, which limits the potential use of such plants in breeding as parental pairs. To accurately determine the ploidy of cultivars, cytogenetic chromosome analysis and flow cytometry methods for DNA content assessment are employed.
