Abstract
AbstractFour original Chrysanthemum, two Rose cultivars and Lantana depressa and their respective gamma ray induced flower colour/chlorophyll variegated mutants were selected for the study of micromorphology of petal/leaf surfaces. Differences were observed among the original and mutant cultivars in cell shape, cell boundaries, cell wall surface and striations. The observations revealed a lot of finer details of petal surface, not only among the original and mutant cultivars but also between the cultivars. Studies clearly indicated that petal micromorphological characters can be utilized not only for identifying the mutants but also a comparative study will help the proper identification of different present day cultivars of Chrysanthemum and Rose and their origin.
