“…The systematic relationships of S. mammosum and of other species of the section Acanthophora have been assessed based on morphological variation, and S. mammosum is known particularly for its bizarre fruit which is very different from others of the genus Solanum. It is furthermore known that S. mammosum has n=11 (Madhavadian 1968;Heiser 1971), whereas n=12 is the haploid number of chromosomes found in almost all species of the section Leptostemonum. In reviewing the biogeography of section Acanthophora, Nee concluded in 1979 that further work on the genetics of S. mammosum should be rewarding.…”

A total of 94 Solanum accessions, including eggplants and related species, were morphologically characterized based on greenhouse observations, and molecularly analysed by the AFLP technique. Morphological parameters were helpful in assessing similarities or differences among accessions, and molecular data were used to support morphological conclusions. A dendrogram was computed based on the Dice genetic distances using the neighbour-joining method. The analysis was efficient in the assignment of a species name for eight out of nine accessions that were not previously classified, and revealed that 14 further accessions were misnamed in the collection originally received. The results indicate that the taxonomy of Solanum sections and subgenera including several species should be reconsidered. The AFLP technique was revealed as an efficient tool in determining genetic relationships among species. In general, morphological observations were consistent with molecular data, indicating that both approaches complemented to define the phylogenetic status of a large genus like Solanum. In terms of eggplant breeding, the molecular analysis of the Melongena complex, and of the other sections of the subgenus Leptostemonum, establishes useful germplasm relationships in the gene pool available for the genetic improvement of the cultivated species. The results we have provided highlight an urgent necessity to include molecular parameters in handling and characterizing the genebank-deposited germplasm related to cultivated crops.

“…] Chromosome numbers for this species have been reported as n = 8, 2n = 16 (Dyer, 1963;Sharma & Sharma, 1958;Madhavadian, 1968;Berg & Greilhuber, 1993b). The flowering season seems to depend on the climatic patterns of the particular vegetation formations where the species occurs, thus varying from place to place.…”

Missouri Botanical Garden Press is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden.ABSTRACT Solanaceae, tribe Cestreae, is represented in Venezuela by the two genera Cestrum, (31 species) and Sessea (1 species). This treatment distinguishes the genera and their species by dichotomous keys. All species are provided with descriptions, iltions, ions, distribution maps, and notes on their appearances, phenology, and geographical ranges. A list of specimens seen that were made in Venezuela is also provided. KEY TO GENER1A (CESTRUM AND SESSEA OF TRInE CESTREAE IN VENEZUELA la. Fruit a berry; seeds Unwinged Cestriumn lI). Fruit a capsLde, seeds winged Sessea Cestrum L., Sp. PI. 191. 1753; Gen. PI., ed. 5. 88. 1754. TYPE: Cestrum nocturnum L.Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden late; minor leaves present or not. Inflorescences axillary and pseudoterminal, few-or many-flowered racemes, spikes or cymes, often large and appearing paniculate; bracts often present. Flowers diurnal or nocturnal, mostly fragrant, mostly 5-merous, pedicellate, bracteolate; calyx small, cupular or tubular, mostly shallowly lobed; corolla narrowly tubular, much exceeding the calyx, lobed, the lobes narrow, shorter than the tube, spreading or reflexed when open; stamens inserted in the corolla tube at similar levels, the insertion levels varying greatly in different species, the adnate portion mostly evident from the corolla base, the insertion variously pubescent, tumid, or denticulate, anthers small, mostly situated together at the corolla mouth; ovary mostly shorter than the calyx, 2-locular, ovules (1-) 4-16(-32), style slender, mostly puberulent or papillose near the apex, style capitate or variously lobed, small, sometimes exserted beyond the anthers or corolla mouth. Fruit blackish, purplish, red, or white, an ovoid, ellipsoidal or obovoid, juicy or fleshy berry; fruiting calyx sometimes accrescent and splitting; seeds varying in number, variable in shape, even in the same berry, embryo straight. References to the last revision of the entire genus by Francey ( -1936 are found in brackets at the end of descriptions in the following accounts of the Venezuelan species.KEY TO SPECIES OF CESTRUM ANt) SESSEA IN VVN 1ZtI1..A
