| Abstrak/Abstract |
Indonesia is known as a country rich in various agricultural and plantation products, including
vegetables. One effort to improve quality of the production by identifying and characterizing
chromosomes. The purpose study to characterize number, shape and size of the chromosomes in
Solanaceae family. The study using modified Squash method. Chromosome preparation including
fixation, maceration, staining, and analyzed using Image Raster 3 application, then Corel Draw X6.
The results showed study to characterize the number, shape and size in the Capsicum annum L. Tm
999 (2n=20m+4sm and 2,41 s/d 9,99 µm) then Capsicum frutescens L. Kencana (2n=16m+8sm and
3,12 s/d 10,49 µm). In Solanum lycopersicum Or Diana and Marta (2n=16m+8sm and 3,12 s/d 10,49
µm) then (2n=22m+2sm and 2,65 s/d 7,28 ?m). In Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Juliet and Tropical
Ruby (2n=18m+6sm and 0,77 s/d 1,81 ?m) then (2n=20m+4sm and 0,39 s/d 0,94 ?m). Solanum
melongena L. Or Valerie and Mustang (2n=24m and 0.29 s/d 0.87 ?m) then (2n=22m+2sm and 0,5 s/d
1.28 ?m). In Solanum melongena L. Kania and Pulus (2n=20m+4sm and 0.64 s/d 3.43 ?m) then
(2n=16m+8sm and 0.84 s/d 2.51 ?m). In Solanum melongena L. Jeno and Planet Hijau (2n=18m+6sm
and 0.65 s/d 2.423 ?m) then (2n=14m+10sm and 0.46 s/d 1.73 ?m). In Capsicum annum var. Grossum
L. Red Star and Purple Star (2n=22m+2sm and 3.19 s/d 8.49 ?m) then (2n=24m and 5.5 s/d 11.92 ?m).
