The chemical substance used to obtain polyploidy in plants is colchicine.

Explanation:

  • Colchicine is a generally used chemical to provoke polyploidy in plants.
  • They are 'mitotic inhibitors' which prevent the formation of microtubule.
  • Thus it inhibits chromosomal segregation after the cell division.
  • It results in an increased number of chromosome sets in the daughter cells.
  • Polyploidy is the state of the cells that have more than two sets of chromosomes.
  • It is prevalent in plants than in animals.
  • This state appears as the outcome of the total non-disjunction of chromosomes through 'mitosis and meiosis'.
  • Polyploidy is either provoked by chemicals or induced naturally.
