A cytological ‘plant type’ showing impairment of homologues (desynapsis) has been spotted in M2 population of Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) following exposure of dry seeds (moisture content 5.00%) to cadmium sulphide nanoparticle (CdS-NPs) treatments (0.25 µg mL−1, 3 h). Present investigation highlights the effective potentiality of CdS-NPs in inducing desynaptic mutant, a pioneer report of its type.
