Popis:	Cytomorphological and phytochemical studies in a chimeric mutant obtained through colchicine treatment in mulberry were conducted. Uniform distribution of ploidal chimera (2n+4n) was detected in different vegetative parts. Meiosis in the chimeric plant was highly irregular. Persistence of chimera in vegetative clonal generations was observed. Distinct morphological changes along with an increase in phenol and a decrease in sugar content were observed in the mutant. Significance of ploidal chimera in the improvement of mulberry is discussed.
