Chromosome number and genome size diversity in five Solanaceae genera
Sixteen species of Solanaceae, belonging to five genera, were studied karyologically through chromosome counting, chromosomal measurement, and karyotype symmetry. Genome size (GS) estimation was performed on fifteen species using flow cytometry. The chromosome number 2n=24 was found in all Solanum...

Sixteen species of Solanaceae, belonging to five genera, were studied karyologically through chromosome counting, chromosomal measurement, and karyotype symmetry. Genome size (GS) estimation was performed on fifteen species using flow cytometry. The chromosome number 2n=24 was found in all Solanum species and Acnistus arborescens, 2n=22 was found in Brunfelsia uniflora, and 2n=16 in Cestrum representatives. Physalis pubescens was the only specie with evidence of polyploidy, showing 2n=4x=48 chromosomes. The chromosome numbers of S. adspersum, S. inodorum, S. flaccidum, S. sanctae-catharinae, and B. uniflora were reported for the first time. Haploid karyotype length (HKL) was statistically different between the studied species. The polyploid P. pubescens showed the largest HKL value, 93.10 µm. In general, karyotypes were symmetrical with predominance of metacentric chromosomes.
