| Abstract | Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal. (Solanaceae) is a highly valued and one of the most extensively used herbal tonic, health food in Ayurvedas and is considered as “Indian Ginseng”. The objective of the present study was to investigate the cytomorphological variations of germplasm from different study areas of North India. Among 27 collected and studied accessions, two cytotypes: diploid (2n = 2x = 24) and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 48) at anaphase were found; the tetraploid cytotypes showed highly abnormal microsporogenesis i.e. (cytomixis, bridges and laggards). Interestingly, diploid cytotypes (2n = 2x = 24) were meiotically normal with equal distribution of chromosomes at A-I, normal microsporogenesis and high pollen fertility. Numbers of morphotypes were further identified on the basis of morphometric analysis within the tetraploid cytotypes. The present study is aimed at identification of accessions of wild populations and their distribution in North India linking the phenotypic variability with the cytological relatedness of accessions. Even though the genus is medicinally so important, it has failed to attract the attention of the researchers regarding the comparative study of both cytomorphological parameters on different populations of W. somnifera from North India. Therefore, as a part of our investigation i.e. exploration of cytomorphological diversity and chemical characterization of selected medicinal plants from North India, this research communication is a pioneer attempt to provide first record about the cytomorphological status comprises with cytological abnormalities based on 27 different populations of W. somnifera, a naturally grown medicinally important plant species from different regions of North India, which were previously undescribed in different populations of this species from study areas. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
