A review on cytological study in Chrysanthemum species

Abstract

Chrysanthemum produce showy flowers with different colors that make it highly suitable for pot culture, bedding purpose and for production of loose flowers that can be used for making garland, worship and for decoration purposes and thus it occupies a place of pride both as commercial crop and popular exhibition flower. As per ploidy level consideration, correlations exist between and the mode of reproduction of any organism. Cytological changes lead to change in flowering and reproductive behavior. Determination of the ploidy level of plants is important for identification of species, for the selection of parental lines, for finding the relationships between species and for determining evolutionary patterns.
