However, of theses 102 accessions, 9 accessions (TS00513, TS00540<br />
TS00550, TS00554, TS02818, TS02843, TS02941, TS03050 and TS03051) were not<br />
germinated (Appendix Table A4). The seeds of these accessions might be harvested at<br />
immature stage. Moreover, the 2 accessions are misidentified as Solanum. TS00491 is<br />
identified as Lycopersicon sp. and TS02271 is identified as Capsicum sp. in Appendix<br />
Table A3.<br />
Therefore, it indicated that the characterization and identification using the<br />
morphological characteristics are important process for germplasm work. Especially,<br />
after collecting from different places it is necessary to characterize and re-identify to<br />
present confusion and misunderstanding.<br />
In addition, Solanum is mainly propagated by seed. Germplasm collections<br />
were assembled and maintained primarily then regenerated and characterized, this<br />
process was important to get a good seed quality. Hence, the harvest stage of seeds is<br />
prime important for Solanum spp. materials in the genebank. Engle (1993) reported<br />
that seed maturity of S. melongena is attained at 55-77 DAA. Likewise Hayati (2005)
