Male Meiotic and Taxonomical Studies in Withania Somnifera (L.) Dunal
male meiosis, meiotic abnormalities, pollen sterility, solanaceae
Abstract
Detailed male meiosis has been made in one species of genus Withania collected from Ujjain region of Madhya Pradesh, India. The study revealed 2n=48 for the species. In addition to this, some cells showed the occurrence of various meiotic irregularities for example, lagging chromosomes (1.76%), chromatin bridges (1.76%) and cytomixis (0.87%). The fertility of pollen grains was also determined which was observed 97.52%. The species are widely used for various medicinal purposes by local/tribal people of the state.
