Chromosome Study and Karyotype Analysis in Solanum sarrachoides Sendt A New Report

Abstract

A cytological analysis was carried out on Solanum sarrachoides Sendt. The chromosome number was found to be n=12 and 2n=24. The karyotype analysis revealed graded karyotype with chromosomes of medium to short in length. The length and volume of each chromosome differed. Genetically controlled differential coiling and uncoiling along with the DNA and protein content in the determination of chromosome length and volume was suggested.
