Effects of climatic stress on meiotic behaviour of chromosomes in Cold Deserts of India

Abstract
Cold deserts of India, including Ladakh,
Lahaul–Spiti, and parts of Jammu & Kashmir, represent some of the harshest
environments on Earth, where plants are exposed to multiple abiotic stresses
such as low temperature, intense ultraviolet radiation, and limited soil
moisture. These climatic extremes profoundly influence plant reproductive
biology, particularly the meiotic process, which is crucial for gamete
formation and genetic stability. The present review summarizes cytogenetic
responses of cold desert plants to climatic stress, with emphasis on meiotic
irregularities, polyploidy, and adaptive mechanisms. It also discusses
molecular and physiological factors underlying stress-induced chromosomal
behaviour and highlights the evolutionary significance of such variations.
