Abstract
Two mulberry varieties namely, S13 and Kollegal have been analyzed for micro-morphology and meiotic studies. These varieties exhibited considerable variations in height, internodal distance, leaf texture and stomata frequency. Based on chromosome number, chromosomal configurations and other meiotic behavior, both the varieties are diploids with 2n=28 chromosome numbers. Meiosis showed marginal differences. Various meiotic abnormalities like occurrence of one large chromosome, stickiness, clumping, non separation, unequal separation, laggards, precocious movement and unoriented chromosomes have been observed.
