Shoot. But, okay then, I guess I'll just have to keep tweaking my google terms to hunt down hints for ways to jostle Tets into spontaneously shaking out those extra chromosomes. Rolling my eyes. perhaps it has been done with some other converted plants than daylilies ...

Edit Update: Ooh, Ooh! "A process of conversion of tetraploid cells to diploid cells may exist (2008) ..." @ science direct ... already on the scent... :D

And...yes! in rockcress, a relative of cabbage and mustard (2010) @ http://www.readcube.com/articl... ... sounds more advanced-science than dip to tet conversion, but it may be that they are looking into ways and means ... as there are hints that it may be helpful science for investigating how to work with cancer tumors.

also http://www.nature.com/nature/j... for pictures

yay!
