Abstract

Induction of polyploidy by colchicine treatment of caimito seedlings produced seven suspected polyploids.

The cytological investigation shows that caimito (Chrysophyllum caimito Linn.) has 13 pairs of chromosomes and has normal meiosis. CAimitillo (Chrysophyllum oviliforme lam.) has 26 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosome bridges at anaphase 1 and telephase 1 were observed.
