Abstract: Flow cytometric (FCM) analytical technique and chromosome counting were used for the detailed ploidy identification in population of anther culture derived pepper plants. Results revealed ploidy diversity in regenerated plants. The different ploidy in organs (eg. Leave and root tips) of the same plant was observed, and this phenomena showed the importance of determining ploidy level by different samples. Chromosome deletion was observed in some cells of haploid or double haploid plants. The coincidence between FCM and chromosome counting was high up to 0.95 in our experiment. We also discussed about the phenomenon of peak distortion in FCM analytical technique. These observations and results are significant for the haploid breeding, germplasm innovation and cytogenetic researches.
