Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the hybridity of first generation progenies resulting from crosses of commercial eggplant varieties Mara and Mistisa with moisture stress-tolerant eggplant accessions PHL 2789 and PHL 4841, respectively. From the polymorphism screening of 65 SSR markers, six markers (EM141, eme05B09, EM133, emh11O01, emf21I02 and EM117) were able to discriminate between Mistisa and PHL 4841 and four markers (CSM20, eme09E09, EM131 and EES063) were able to distinguish Mara form PHL 2789. These markers were then used to determine the hybridity of 30 progenies from each of the respective crosses. For cross Mistisa x PHL 4841, all progenies except for progeny number 13 were identified as hybrids based on the marker data and were selected to proceed to next generation of breeding cycles. Furthermore, all 30 progenies from cross Mara x PHL 2789 showed heterozygosity using the SSR markers and were identified and selected as hybrids.
