Cabai (Capsicum spp.) merupakan salah satu bumbu dapur yang banyak
dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui
morfologi polen dari 20 kultivar cabai yang berasal dari empat spesies cabai.
Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode asetolisis, kemudian dilakukan identifikasi
morfologi menggunakan Australasian Pollen and Spore Atlas dan PalDat -
Palynological Database selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan metode deskriptif.
Morfologi polen yang diamati pada penelitian ini meliputi unit polen, bentuk polen
berdasarkan sisi polar, ekuatorial dan indeks P/E, ukuran polen, tipe aperture, dan
ornamentasi eksin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa polen cabai memiliki unit
polen monad, bentuk polen pada sisi polar circular, dan circular oval dari sisi
ekuatorial. Tipe aperture cabai termasuk tricolporate dan ornamentasi eksin psilate.
Ukuran polen termasuk dalam kategori kecil. Bentuk polen berdasarkan indeks P/E
cukup beragam meliputi suboblate, oblate-spheroidal, prolate- spheroidal dan
subprolate. Chili (Capsicum spp.) is a spice that is widely used by Indonesian people. This
study aimed to determine the pollen morphology of 20 chili cultivars from four chili
species. The method used was the acetolysis method, then morphological identification
was carried out using the Australasian Pollen and Spore Atlas and PalDat -
Palynological Database then analyzed using the descriptive method. The pollen
morphology observed in this study includes pollen units, pollen shape based on the
polar view, equatorial and P/E index, pollen size, aperture type, and exin
ornamentation. The results showed that the chili pollen had monad pollen units, pollen
forms on the polar view were circular, and circular oval on the equatorial view. The
chili aperture type included tricolporate, and psilate exin ornamentation. The size of
pollen was included in the small category. Pollen forms based on the P/E index are
quite diverse, it was suboblate, oblate-spheroidal, prolate-spheroidal, and subprolate.
