Abstract：During ‘The 13th Five-Year Plan’ period，important research progress has been made in
eggplant genetic breeding in China．A number of excellent eggplant new germplasm and breeding material
has been selected and created，a lot of new eggplant varieties with different ecological types were cultivated
to meet the needs of market consumption．Studies on the whole genome sequencing of eggplant have reached
the advanced international level．This paper systematically summarized the great progress made during ‘The
13th Five-Year Plan’period （2016—2020） in applying basic research，breeding technology，germplasm
innovation and new variety selective breeding of eggplant．The paper also analyzed the major existing problems
and explored the future development direction．
