Induced Aneuploid in Adiantum capillus-veneris L

Abstract

An aneuploid of Adiantum capillus-veneris was isolated following gamma irradiation for the first time. Morphologically no variation was noticed but the plant was found to be cytologically highly irregular. The spectrum of anormalism included various association of chromosomes at diakinesis, lagging univalents at anaphase, appearance of micronuclei at telophase II, and variant shape and size of spores.
