N2  - When it was discovered in 1937 that polyploidy can be induced in plants through the action of colchicine, many genetics and plant breeders held high hopes that a way had been opened for rapid development of novel and superior types that would revolutionize agriculture. Because polyploidy plant has larger cells than their diploid counterparts, and it seems reasonable to expect this larger cell size to contribute to larger plant size and higher yield. Two types ofpolyploidy sugar beet varieties were commercially produced sense this time anisoploids and triploid hybrids varieties. The present investigation was carried out in 2008 at El- Sabahia Agric. Res. Bta., Alexandria, Egypt to produce autotetrapliod beet plants, (2n = 4X = 36), which can be used in breeding program to produce sugar beet triploid varieties. Three spindle - fiber inhibitors (8-hydroxyquinoline
