2. Introduction
 Polyploidy (diploid and polyploidy plants).
 Chemical Induction of Polyploidy.
 Cytological Analysis of polyploidy.

3. Objectives
 Characterize the chromosomal architecture and behavior during mitosis
and meiosis in diploid plants.
 Induce polyploidy in selected diploid plant species using chemical
mutagens.
 Investigate the cytological changes associated with polyploidization,
including chromosome doubling and rearrangements.
 Compare the cytogenetic features between diploid and polyploid plants
to elucidate the impact of polyploidy on chromosome structure and
organization.

4. Methodology

5. Expected Outcome
 Detailed characterization of the cytogenetic features of diploid Egyptian
plants, including chromosome number, morphology, and behavior during
cell division.
 Successful induction of polyploidy in selected plant species using chemical
mutagens.
 Identification of cytological changes associated with polyploidization,
such as chromosome doubling and rearrangements.
 Comparative analysis of cytogenetic traits.

6. Significance
This study will contribute to the understanding of cytological
mechanisms underlying polyploidization in Egyptian plants.
The findings will have implications for breeding programs aimed
at developing polyploid cultivars with improved agronomic traits,
such as increased biomass production, stress tolerance, and
nutritional quality.
 Additionally, the research may provide insights into the broader
implications of polyploidy for plant evolution and adaptation in
natural and agricultural ecosystems.
