“…Genic male-sterility derived from spontaneous mutation has been reported (Chauhan, 1984;Jasmin, 1954;Nuttall, 1963;Phatak and Jaworski, 1989;Phatak et al, 1991). Cytoplasmic male-sterility derived from inter-specific crosses, in which wild Solanum species was used as the female parent followed by repeated backcrossing to the cultivated species to achieve cytoplasm substitution, have been reported (Fang et al, 1985;Isshiki and Kawajiri, 2002;Isshiki, 2008, 2009;Saito et al, 2009 term commercially viable hybrid breeding programs, the use of a limited number of male-sterility sources usually implies a potential risk as a result of the vulnerability of a narrow genetic basis.…”

In order to develop a new male-sterile line of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), the F 1 rootstock 'Assist' (Solanum aethiopicum Aculeatum L. Group × S. melongena 'DMP') was continuously backcrossed to S. melongena 'Uttara' using 'Uttara' as a recurrent pollen parent up to BC 4 generation. All examined F 1 'Assist' produced pollen grains while BC 1 plants segregated into male fertile and sterile plants. The male-sterile plant did not produce any pollen grains. BC 2 , BC 3 , and BC 4 progenies obtained from male fertile backcross progenies were segregated into male fertile and sterile plants and each segregation ratio fitted 3 : 1. BC 3 and BC 4 progenies obtained from male-sterile backcross progenies were fixed to male-sterility without segregation. Selfed progenies of the male fertile BC 2 progeny were segregated into male fertile and sterile plants and the segregation ratio fitted 15 : 1. Therefore, the pollen non-formation characteristic is assumed to be a form of cytoplasmic male-sterility (CMS), induced by incompatibility between the cytoplasm of S. aethiopicum Aculeatum Group and the nucleus of S. melongena. Further, these segregation results indicated that two independent dominant fertility restorer (Rf) genes control the fertility restoration of this CMS. High values of fruit set, number of seeds per fruit, and the seed germination rate found in BC 4 progenies indicate that the cytoplasm of S. aethiopicum Aculeatum Group has no notable negative effect on seed fertility of S. melongena. A new male-sterile line of eggplant could be developed by utilizing the cytoplasm of S. aethiopicum Aculeatum Group.

“…Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is far more convenient for the production of hybrid seeds than genic male sterility because of the mode of maintenance and restoration of fertility (Budar and Pelletier, 2001). A few reports have described CMS in eggplant (Fang et al, 1985;Isshiki and Kawajiri, 2002;Khan and Isshiki, 2008), and genic male sterility has been described in many other reports (Chauhan, 426 1984;Jasmin, 1954;Nuttall, 1963;Phatak and Jaworski, 1989;Phatak et al, 1991). The cytoplasm of Solanum gilo Raddi (Fang et al, 1985), Solanum violaceum R. Br.…”

“…Byron D. Halsted compared the inheritance of the fruit colors of tomato, eggplant and pepper and noticed genetic similarities between them, which might be considered as the first observation of synteny (Halsted 1918). Later, the genetics of fruit and flower colors was refined (Tatebe 1939; Tigchelaar et al 1968) and the inheritance of male sterility was analyzed, which is important for hybrid breeding (Nuttall 1963). Eggplant was the last to enter the genomics era after tomato, potato and pepper.…”

Key message This article evaluates the main contributions of tomato, tobacco, petunia, potato, pepper and eggplant to classical and molecular plant genetics and genomics since the beginning of the twentieth century. AbstractSpecies from the Solanaceae family form integral parts of human civilizations as food sources and drugs since thousands of years, and, more recently, as ornamentals. Some Solanaceous species were subjects of classical and molecular genetic research over the last 100 years. The tomato was one of the principal models in twentieth century classical genetics and a pacemaker of genome analysis in plants including molecular linkage maps, positional cloning of disease resistance genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL). Besides that, tomato is the model for the genetics of fruit development and composition. Tobacco was the major model used to establish the principals and methods of plant somatic cell genetics including in vitro propagation of cells and tissues, totipotency of somatic cells, doubled haploid production and genetic transformation. Petunia was a model for elucidating the biochemical and genetic basis of flower color and development. The cultivated potato is the economically most important Solanaceous plant and ranks third after wheat and rice as one of the world’s great food crops. Potato is the model for studying the genetic basis of tuber development. Molecular genetics and genomics of potato, in particular association genetics, made valuable contributions to the genetic dissection of complex agronomic traits and the development of diagnostic markers for breeding applications. Pepper and eggplant are horticultural crops of worldwide relevance. Genetic and genomic research in pepper and eggplant mostly followed the tomato model. Comparative genome analysis of tomato, potato, pepper and eggplant contributed to the understanding of plant genome evolution.
