Interspecific Hybridization in the Genus Solanum L. And Its Use in Breeding

Abstract

The studies found that in the crosses of S. melongena with wild species, used as a male and female component, the interspecific hybrids have the traits of the generative organs of wild species: the shape and flower size, color, shape and fruit size.

Study of the fertilizer “Multibar” for the productivity and characterization of eggplant varieties

“…The wide spread cultivation of eggplant could be explained by its ability to grow in various climatic zones, high productivity, nutrition value, and by multipurpose utilization of eggplant fruits. Of the problem of food production is a improving of cultivation methods of the varieties and hybrids [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Selection of miniature varieties of Solanaceae crops in Armenia

“…The most valuable of them are: tomato, eggplant, sweet pepper, hot pepper and physalis. In the genus Solanum there are also a number of less common leafy vegetable plants, such as nightshade (Solanum nigrum) [1].…”

“…The miniature variety is characterized by the presence of small fruits (a few centimeters in length), narrow and rounded in shape, chili and cherry-type fruits, multi-colored in color. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The history of the development of breeding shows that one of the effective ways to use the generic potential of economically valuable plant traits was interspecific hybridization. It has always been tempting for a person to create new forms of cultivated plants, in which signs of different species and genera, valuable from an economic point of view, were combined [9].…”
