Due to the observed advantages in nature, breeders have harnessed the process of chromosome doubling in vitro through induced polyploidy to produce superior crops. For example, induced autotetraploids in the watermelon crop are used for the production of seedless triploid hybrids fruits (Fig 5.1) (Wehner, 2008)..
