Chromosome numbers and meiotic behavior in some species of Asteraceae from high altitudinal regions of Kashmir Himalayas

Disparity or continuity in the chromosome count within taxa of various categories has been verified to be an imperative character for taxonomic classification. Male meiotic studies in 64 species (161 accessions) of composits from geographically isolated regions were examined in detail in order to up...
