The chromosome number of four wild plant species grown in Kuwaiti desert was determined from PMCs during microsporogenesis. Two species belong to the family Compositae namely, Picris sahara, Senecio desfontainei, and two species belong to the family Plantaginaceae, namely, Plantago boissieri and Plantago ciliata.
Meiosis was regular in all species studied, but with low chiasma frequency per bivalent at diakinesis. B-chromosomes were found in Senecio species. Chromo-centres were also found in the interphase stage of the somatic cells for the same species.
