“…Solanaceous vegetable or Solanaceae is primarily a tropical family with approximately 75 genera and 2000 species. The most important genera were Solanum (potato and eggplant), Lycopersicon (tomato), and Capsicum (pepper) [1]. Vegetables are the most cost-effective source of vitamins and minerals essential to a healthy lifestyle and widely acknowledge as a key component of food and nutrition security.…”

An automated precision planter was developed to mechanize the seedling preparation process. The machine was fabricated based on the seeds size and tray cells distance. It can precisely place single seeds per row in tray continuously. Tomato, eggplant, and pepper were used as test materials. Three vacuum pressures (0.68 kPa, 0.93 kPa, and 1.18 kPa) were used to determine the performance of the machine. Evaluated in terms of single seeds, double, multiple, missing cells, singulation efficiency, seed utilization efficiency, seeding efficiency and seeding capacity. Results showed it can plant single seeds with 57.81–86.98%, double with 4.95–29.43%, multiple with 0.09–4.25%, and missing cells with 4.43–36.89%. Also, the machine has a singulation efficiency of 63.98–93.91% with a seed utilization efficiency of 70.69–94.17%, seeding efficiency of 63.11–95.57% and a seeding capacity between 3,310 – 5,011 cells per hour which was 3.8 times faster than manual. The precision of the machine was affected by pressure and seed surface area which are highly significant on the performance of the machine. The total cost of the planter was $564.94 with a payback period of 1.41 years with a return on investment of 60.36 % using a custom rate of $0.055/tray.

“…The members of Solanaceae species found in the tropics are generally considered as annual herbs while those in the temperate regions are annuals. They grow as a bush up to a height of 0.5-2.5 m. The fruits produced may vary from a small number to several (Rubatzky and Yamaguchi, 1997).…”

Diversity analysis of Selected <em>Solanum</em> species in Sri Lanka using molecular and morphological descriptors

et al. 2019

The family Solanaceae is composed of a broad list of species, which includes both commercial and wild accessions with enormous medicinal importance. The published phylogenies on Sri Lankan wild and naturalized Solanum spp. confers that S. hispidum, and S. torvum are sister species. However, this has not been proved using multiple barcoding markers. Moreover, S. torvum, an underutilized crop is expected to contain multiple varieties. However, varietal descriptions using morphological and DNA markers have not been done so far. Therefore, our study was aimed at accurate identification of four Solanum spp. found in Sri Lanka (S. torvum 'Bindu' and landraces S. hispidum and S. pubescens) using chloroplast marker based DNA barcoding combined with a morphological description. We used 29 quantitative and 22 qualitative parameters, comprised of vegetative and reproductive traits along with eight DNA barcoding markers. We sequenced rbcL and trnL-F to check the DNA polymorphisms. According to the combined morphological analysis of reproductive and vegetative parameters, the four species clustered separately. There were no separation observed between S. torvum and S. hispidum. Solanum pubescens diverged out and cladded with old world nightshades in molecular analysis. These results are in line with published literature and validates that trnL-trnF could be used as a potential marker to carry out a combined DNA barcoding analysis with matK. However, trnL-trnF could not be used to discriminate between S. torvum and S. hispidum species.
