Notes:
Summary Cytogenetic studies involving six species of spinous Solanums have been made using the parameters of crossability/fertility relationships and chromosome pairing in parental and derived hybrid genomes. These studies have made it possible to integrate hybrid reproductive performance with observed cytological phenomena and draw inferences on concerned intergenomic homeologies. It has been found that species' differences, as they exist, are ascribable to chromosome repatterning, in their divergence and maintenance as distinct taxa. In the light of these studies, the grouping of these species has to be reconsidered.
