The authors made interspecific reciprocal crossings between three species of eggplant: Solanum melongena, S. aethiopicum and S. integrifolium. By the using of embryo culture in vitro the authors obtained the interspecific hybrids of following combinations: S. melongena x S. aethiopicum, S. melongena x S. integrifolium, S. aethiopicum x S. melongena, S. aethiopicum x S. integrifolium и S. integrifolium x S. melongena. The stage of embryonic development, optimal for isolation, was determined, the composition of nutrient media for embryo development and rootage of seedlings was optimized.
Key words: eggplant, interspecific hybridization, embryo culture.
