As a part of our program to explore and evaluate genetic diversity of flowering plants of the
Kashmir Himalayas, meiotic studies have been carried out on 150 wild species. Of these …

Silene vulgaris is an important ethnobotanical species, but so far no thorough meiotic
analysis has been performed, despite its wide occurrence in temperate and alpine …

Meiotic studies and chromosome data are imperative in order to have an overall germplasm
evaluation of a taxon. In the present effort, the meiotic study is carried out in 48 populations …

The taxonomic position of Cardamine pectinata, a controversial taxon treated either as
infraspecific to C. impatiens or as a separate species, was studied. Forty-nine populations …

Cytological investigations carried out on a population basis in Astragalus chlorostachys
Lindl. which exists at diploid level (n= 8) revealed the presence of quadrivalents, the late …

The present paper describes, for the first time, detailed cytology of Astragalus
melanostachys Benth. ex Bunge with n= 6 and 2 n= 12. This is a new and the lowest base …

Meiotic studies were carried out in 14 wild accessions of Lavatera cachemiriana, an
important medicinal herb, collected from various localities of Kashmir Himalaya. The …

A morpho-meiotic study of wild Mentha longifolia (L.) L.(Lamiaceae) is presented from the
nine populations (Kukumsari, Zero-point, Kishori, Tosh, Kasol, Key, Tiling, Mudh and …

Cytomorphological exploration has been undertaken in 14 species of the Scrophulariaceae
from Kashmir, Himalaya. The varied gametophtyic chromosome counts of n= 23 for Veronica …
