Abstract
In a population of local cultivar of chilies 3 desynaptic plants were isolated. Meiotic studies in the mutant and normal plants showed reduced chiasma frequency and pollen fertility in the desynaptics. The desynaptic plants fit into weak and medium strong types. The mutant condition followed a monogenic pattern of inheritance. Earlier work on desynapsis and the present findings are compared and discussed.
