Abstract

Several members of the genus Solanum have been successfully used in somatic hybridization studies (1, 2, 3). We have established callus and cell suspension cultures of Solanum melongena and some wild Solanum species. High frequencies of somatic embryogenes is were obtained in S. melongena cell suspension cultures grown in MS medium in the presence of 10 mg/L NAA (4). Plants could be regenerated from these embryos suggesting that S. melongena could be a useful species for somatic hybridization. In this presentation, we describe our experiments aimed at efficiently regenerating plants from cell suspension-derived protoplasts of this species.
