✦ Synopsis
Experiments with the variety Fahl of Berseem clover and with different material of red clover have shown that the occurrence of tetraploid and diploid tissues can be detected in a rapid and reliable way by determining the number and arrangement of germinal pores of the pollen . The advantages over the conventional methods are mentioned and described .
The determination of the germinal pore pattern, which is combined with pair crossing of the tetraploid heads, makes it possible to obtain in an efficient way completely tetraploid material with a great genetic variability .
