Abstract
Cytomixis was observed in triploid mulberry. The cause of this has been attributed to initial hybrid nature of tetraploid and triploid. The cytomixis involved many cells at a time and was observed in all the stages of meiosis, contrary to the common belief that only earlier stages are favourble. In some cases two different stages of meiosis were also involved in cytomixis. Cytomixis resulted in other abnormalities like anucleate cells, cells with more or less chromosome number, multinucleolate cells, unusually large cells, triads, pentads and hexads. Cytomixis leads to sterility in mulberry resulting in higher leaf yield and nutritiveness, useful for silkworm feeding.
