Somatic Hybridization of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) with Its Close and Wild Relatives

  • Chapter
Somatic Hybridization in Crop Improvement I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 27))

Abstract

The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an economically important vegetable crop in tropical and warm temperate regions. It is grown on about 432 × 103 ha worldwide, yielding 5.7 million t in 1989, with China (2.28 million t), Turkey (0.70 million t), Japan (0.58 million t), and Egypt (0.45 million t) being the main producers (FAO 1989).
