Comparative transcriptome analysis provides insights into the molecular mechanism underlying double fertilization between self-crossed Solanum melongena and that hybridized with Solanum aethiopicum.

Wild relatives represent a source of variation for many traits of interest for eggplant (Solanum melongena) breeding, as well as for broadening its genetic base. However, interspecific hybridization with wild relatives has been barely used in eggplant breeding programs, and reproductive barriers hav...
