Summary
Two experiments were carried out to investigate “genotypes x isolates” interaction for resistance to Fusarium wilt in eggplant. A total of fifteen genotypes including wild accessions and cultivated forms were tested against twelve Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. melongenae (Fomg) isolates (eleven from Turkey and one from Italy) in the study. Root-dip method was performed for artificial inoculation of the pathogen. Experiments were conducted according to randomized complete block design in split-plot using three replications. Infected plants were scored for the severity of them disease symptoms using a 1 to 5 scale after four weeks. The findings of the experiment showed that the isolates and genotypes were placed into two groups (low and high virulence) and three groups (resistant, partly resistant and susceptible), respectively. Two wild accessions belonging to Solanum\n aethiopicum species and two wild accessions belonging to Solanum melongena were completely\n resistant to all tested isolates. Some wild genotypes and one cultivar (Topan 374) were partly resistant, showing specific interactions with Fomg isolates, being more resistant to some isolates but less to some others. Other cultivated genotypes were highly susceptible to all isolates.
