Pollen grains size of the treated was significantly bigger and there was greater range in the variability of the size of pollen grains than their normal grains. Pollen sterility was also high in the treated than in the normal diploids.
Daring meissis precocious movement, lagging and unequal distribution of the chromosomes to the poles during disjunction were noticed in case of the treated plants.
