Abstract

Biotechnologies for plant improvement are of interest because they circumvent the limitations of traditional crop breeding. For example, somatic hybridization overcomes sexual incompatibility between species, and many somatic hybrids between combinations of a wide range of plant species have been reported (Bajaj 1994), including eggplant (Sihachakr et al. 1994).
