Abstract

Mitosis and Karyotype of chromosomes of root tip cells of Piper betle L. fixed at 10:00AM were done using the acetocarmine squash method. Chromosome number was constant at 2n=32. Mitosis was normal in all cells observed. chromosomes were grouped into two : Group I composed of 9 pais of metacentric chromosomes and Group II composed of 7 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes. Relative of Group I and II range from 0.016-0.047 mm and 0.020-0.049 mm, respectively. Dividing cells were limited to 12.52%.
