Abstract: Mitotic and meiotic chromosome studies are performed in two cultivars namely TNP(D)92 and NP(D)95 of Coriandrumsativum L. (Apiaceae) with an objective of proper cataloguing of the germplasm under study from the cytogentical perspectives for better exploration in crop improvement. Karyomorphological details and meiotic chromosome configurations (2n=22) are discussed.
Keywords: Mitotic, Meiotic, Chromosome, Coriandrum sativum
