Population Cytogenetics Iii. Cytomorphology and HPTLC Fingerprinting in Different Morphotypes of “Indian Ginseng” Withania Somnifera (L.) Dunal From North India.

Key Points

• Distinct morphotypes of Withania somnifera show varied cytomorphological features, indicating potential genetic diversity.
• Significant differences in HPTLC fingerprinting patterns between various Withania somnifera morphotypes were observed.
• Cytogenetic evaluations highlighted the unique characteristics of each morphotype, contributing to identification efforts.
• The findings may enhance the understanding of genetic variance and its implications for medicinal uses.
