Summary The effects of the number of chromosome sets on chlorophyll content in diploid and tetraploid black wattle were assessed through chlorophyll absorbance. Seedlings of ~ 8 months of age, 1-year-old trees in polybags and 2-year-old fi eld material were selected for this investigation. Three families per ploidy level comprising of 10 half-sibs per family were used in the analysis. An analysis of variance revealed signifi cant differences ( P 0.05). Within each family, signifi cant differences ( P < 0.05) were recorded between each of the three treatments tested, with the fi eld material consistently having signifi cantly ( P < 0.05) greater amounts of chlorophyll.
