Triploid breeding has proven to be a valuable approach in Populus improvement. An ideal way to achieve triploid Populus is to cross diploids with tetraploids. In this study, we attempted to induce tetraploids of Populus adenopoda by inhibiting the first zygote division with high temperature exposure and increase the efficiency of tetraploid production. The relationship between zygote division stages and developmental changes of the cotton-like fiber in ovaries were analyzed, helping to guide the treatment towards the most accurate cytological stage. Among the 3,582 offspring, 32 teraploids were confirmed by both flow cytometric analysis and chromosome number counting. The highest efficacy of teraploid induction was 14.12 %. Significant differences between diploids and tetraploids were observed between the mean sizes and densities of leaf stoma. The tetraploid plants showed modified morphological characteristics, such as thicker leaves, modified leaf morphology, and stunted growth. Our finding showed that exposure during the first zygote division is an ideal method for teraploid induction in Populus.
