Abstract
This study was conducted in 2015, it was aimed to determine the resistance status of 42 eggplant genotypes for breeding studies against Verticillium wilt disease caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb. disease, which limits eggplant production in Turkey. Disease resistance status of eggplant genotypes were determined by classical testing. The study revealed that it was determined the severity of the disease against Verticillium dahliae varied between 9.04-76.53% among the genotypes of different eggplant species. As a result of classical testing E4, E5, E7, E8, E10, E24, E33, E42 eggplant genotypes of different species; Solanum torvum, Solanum incanum, Solanum linnaeanum, Solanum aethiopicum, Solanum sisymbriifolium, Solanum americanum have been found resistant at 7.98-9.87% disease severity. It was also determined that 22 eggplant genotypes were moderate-level resistant and 13 eggplant genotypes were in susceptible groups. Eggplant genotypes, where the resistance status of Verticillium wilt determined in the study will contribute to the development of new hybrid eggplant varieties in future.
