Matricaria chamomilla L. is a diploid species (2n=18) the flowers of which are important source of an oil commonly known as ‘Blue oil’. Improvement through artificial chromosome doubling gave favourable response resulting in larger and longer lasting capitula. Tetraploid showed typical autoploid meiotic behaviour and normal fertility.
