Abstract: | S. integrifolium (2n = 24) can easily be crossed as the pistillate parent with S. melongena (2n = 24) and S. melongena var. insanum (2n = 24). However, crosses in the other direction do not succeed. Both hybrids are vigorous. Chromosome association at diakinesis and metaphase I was studied. Chromosome associations higher than bivalents were observed in the hybrids indicating structural repatterning of chromosomes. The modal chromosome association in hybrids was twelve bivalents per PMC. This is suggestive of the retention of ancestral chromosome homeologies by the taxa concerned. Despite regular meiosis both hybrids were highly pollen-sterile (about 95%), which was attributed to segregational events of the recombined chromosomes. |
