Cultivated eggplants - origin, breeding objectives and genetic resources, a review. (2007, background): “Rizza et al. (2002) obtained dihaploid plants through anther culture of somatic hybrids between S. melongena and S. aethiopicum Gilo group which were characterized by complete resistance to fungal wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae.”
Inheritance of Fusarium wilt resistance introgressed from Solanum aethiopicum Gilo and Aculeatum groups into cultivated eggplant (S. melongena) and development of associated PCR-based markers (2008, background): “Fusarium resistant dihaploids were obtained as previously described (Rotino et al. 2001; Rizza et al. 2002) and were subjected to several cycles of backcrosses/selfing associated with selection for Fusarium resistance using the correspondent fusion parents (Fig.”
