Morphologic differences between different ploidy plants were analyzed. Average bark area percentages in ramie stem transection of haploids, tetraploids, diploids and triploids were 28. 91, 27. 05, 26. 97 and 24.77% respectively. Average percentages of fiber layer area of diploids, haploids, tetraploids and triploids were 16.80, 16. 58, 15.52 and 13.78% respectively. Average fiber cell diameter and cell wall thickness were increased along with the increase of the ploidy of the plants. Average fiber length of diploids, triploids and haploids were 8. 49, 7. 96 and 6. 93 cm respectively. Average L/B (length/breadth) of diploids, triploids and haploids were 2 470. 7, 2 390. 6 and 1 616.3 respectively. Average breadths of fiber of haploids, diploids and triploids were 29. 30, 33. 87 and 49. 20μm respectively. However, there were relatively large variations in the above characteristics among the ramie materials of the same ploidy levels. Field performance of different ploidy plants was also investigated. As the chromosome ploidy increasing, there was a tendency of declining in shoot number per plant and increasing in stem diameter. Average shoots per plant of haploids, diploids, triploids and tetraploids were 5.83, 5.30, 3.77 and 3. 65 whereas their average stem diameters were 0.66, 0. 67, 0. 74 and 0. 76 cm respectively. Triploids were the tallest, while haploids were the shortest. Triploids had strong growth vigour, diploids and tetraploids had moderate growth vigour, while haploids appeared to be lack of growth vigour. Cold stress tolerance of tetraploids were the strongest, diploid had the moderate tolerance, while haploids and triploids were the least tolerant to cold stress. Both haploids and triploids were sterile.展开更多
