Abstract

Mitotic division in the root tip cells of C. papaya occurred at 2:00 -3:00 P. M. Acetocarmine squash preparations of root tip cells showed that the chromosome number of C. papaya was 2n = 18. The mean mitotic index was 19.01%. The average relative lengths of the somatic chromosomes ranged from 0.041 to 0.07.
