Haploidy in eggplant

  • Chapter
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 25))

Abstract

Solanum melongena L. (2n = 2x = 24) is also known as eggplant, aubergine, brinjal or Guinea squash. This species is probably a native of Asia; the Indo-Burma Asiatic region, China and Japan are considered the centers of origin. It has been cultivated in Asia from the 5th century, and was introduced to Europe by the Arabs during the dark ages (Khan, 1979).
