Abstract
Six strains of strawberry have been studied from Kashmir occurring both in wild and cultivated state. The cytological studies on these have shown that the cultivated strain of strawberry at Yarikah Farm, Tangmarg, is a possible hybrid between the American strawberry F. chiloensis 2n=56 and European strawberry F. moschata 2n=42. The natural hybrid has 2n=49 chromosomes.
