To generate polyploid B. ochracea Schltr and find out the optimal induction condition, the seeds of diploid B. ochracea were treated with different concentration of colchicine solution under a range of treatment time. The results of the study suggested that the seeds treated with 0.25% colchicine solution for six days was effective in polyploid induction for B. ochracea, with a 35.66% survival rate of treated seeds and a 45% induction rate. The tetraploid gave a significant enhancement on various agronomic traits, including plant height, leaf number, leaf width, stem diameter, bulb length and root diameter. In addition, tetraploid B. ochracea showed increased stomatal aperture and decreased stomatal density. The tetraploid B. ochracea was generated in this study, which would provide technical support and basic material for improving the genetic traits of medicinal orchids.
