The presence of triploid individuals, whether hybrids arising from crosses of diploid and tetraploid plants, or spontaneously generated triploid hybrids diploid populations, is increasingly important in plant populations. However, the possible evolutionary role of the triploid hybrids is closely connected to the frequency of their occurrence, to their relative fitness (compared to parental cytotype) and fertility. As a model plant I choosed Tripleurospermum inodorum, in which a relatively frequent occurrence of triploid hybrids was documented in mixed populations of tetraploids and diploids. This annual plant achieves realy quick its reproductive maturity and is easily cultivated, making it an ideal model for cultivation and pollinating experiments. Compared to parental cytotypes, the triploid hybrids of T. inodorum take approximately the same (mostly mediated) fitness values. In vitro conditions were cultivated to measure of germination rates. Germination rate of triploid seeds was comparable to diploid parental cytotype. In the subsequent comparative cultivation, nearly 150 plant individuals (2x, 3x, 4x, and aneuploid cytotype) in the greenhouse showed that the triploids had intermedial values of their parental cytotypes or close to one of the parents. Thus, the vitality of the triploid plants is...
