Genotype Effect as One of the Affecting Factors on The Success of Anther Culture in Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Anther culture technique is one of the commonly used method in order to obtain haploid plants eggplant. It known that androgenic response eggplant variable and most important factors determining success genotype effect. Low or insufficient embryogenic limits use double technology breeding programs. Therefore, responses genotypes a step for this studies. In study, 61 at various stages (F1, F2, F3) gene pool United Genetics Vegetable Seeds Company (Mustafakemalpaşa, Bursa, Turkey) were evaluated terms responses. Significant differences determined among about embryo induction conversion rates embryos full plantlets. responsiveness anther based on ranged from 0.0%-21.58%. The rate induced varied between 0.0% 100%.
