Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had larger pollen and flowers than diploid plants.
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had thicker, greener leaves than diploid plants.
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia leaves have serrated edges.
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had longer stomata than diploid plants.
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had lower stomatal density than diploid plants.
- Intervention effect A 20% VWC treatment led to smaller leaves than 40% VWC in diploid and tetraploid Angelonia.
- Intervention effect A 20% VWC treatment led to higher SPAD-502 readings than 40% VWC in diploid and tetraploid Angelonia.
- Intervention effect A 20% VWC treatment decreased flower number compared with 40% VWC in diploid and tetraploid Angelonia.
- Intervention effect Tetraploid Angelonia had higher photosynthetic rates than diploids under both 20% and 40% VWC.

- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had thicker, erect stems than diploids in 0.8-L containers.
- Observation Tetraploid Angelonia had larger flowers than diploids even under a 20% VWC treatment.
