Abstract
The present investigation summarises breeding and meiotic behaviour of normal and an asynaptic mutant of variety KL-1 of Capsicum annuum L. Morphological and pollination experiments reveal this variety to be dependent on insects for successful fruit set. Sixtysix percent fruit was set on open pollination. Asynaptic mutant isolated in this variety resembled the normal plants in plant and floral morphology, but did not set any fruit both on open pollination or when allowed to autoself. This lack of fruit set has been attributed to asynapsis induced sterility both in female and male tracks.
