This research was conducted to get the basic materials necessary to obtain the somatic hybrid plant between Solanum sisymbriifolium and other Solanum species (S. integrifolium and S. toxicarium). Regarding the formation of colony from the protoplast in S. sisymbriifolium, S. integrifolium and the fused protoplast mixture; for the S. sisymbriifolium, a colony was observed in F medium(Kao medium containing 5.0mg·L-1 NAA, 1.0mg·L-1 2,4-D and 1.0mg·L-1 BA); and for the S. integrifolium, in G medium (a half strength MS medium containing 0.03 M sucrose, 0.4 M mannitol, 1.0mg·L-1 NAA, 1.0mg·L-1 kinetin) respectively. In mixed cultured protoplast after electriofusion treatment, the cell division and colony formation were observed in both media F and G. For the shoot and root formation rate, there was no difference between the parent of each breed and mixed protoplast regardless of the medium. In the fused protoplast mixture of S. sisymbriifolium and S. toxicarium, a colony formation was also observed in both media F and H(a half strength MS medium containing 0.03 M sucrose, 0.4 M mannitol, 1.0mg·L-1 NAA, 1.0mg·L-1 kinetin); and there was no difference in the shoot and root formation rate between the parent and the mixed protoplast.

In this study, we surveyed the influence of IOA (iodoacetamide) and media upon protoplast fusion for the efficient production of the somatic hybrid among S. sisymbriifolium and other Solanum species (S. intergrifolium and S. toxicarium). Regardless of a breed, as the IOA concentration increases, the cell division tends to decrease. As the influence of the media on the colony formation, we could get 5 colonies from the fusion of S. sisymbriifolium and IOA-treated S. integrifolium protoplast, but none was observed in other fusions. As a result of analyzing their IDH isozyme, we found a somatic hybrid in 2 objects.
