For all of you biologists, botanists, and enthusiasts out there who are way smarter than I, I have four questions about tetraploids (wink):
1. Tetraploids are not, simply by virtue of being tetraploid, sterile, right?
2. A tetraploid passiflora could theoretically self-pollinate or two could theoretically cross-pollinate, right?
3. Are there known passiflora tetraploids that self-pollinate or cross-pollinate?
4. I ask all this because I have one of the common P. x belotii and I'm wondering if it's possible for it or other tetraploids to set fruit, and, if so, if there is any chance the seeds would be viable. Anyone know?
Thanks in advance!
