Salt stress treatment was carried out on 190 eggplant germplasm resources and their salt tolerance was identified by salt damage index together with chrolophyll loss rate. According to the results of salt tolerance identification，15 different materials with different salt tolerance were selected to evaluate their salt tolerance in bud and seedling stages. The relative germination rate，relative germination potential，salt damage index in bud stage，proline content and chlorophyll content were measured to select suitable criterias for evaluating eggplant salt tolerance. The results showed that there were‘Ciqie’，‘Suanjieqie’，‘Malaiyaqie’，‘Meizhoumoqie’and‘Tianjinerminqie’5 varieties possessed stronger salt tolerance. Except salt damage index，the relative germination rate，relative increase of proline content and chlorophyll loss rate could also be used as important index for evaluating salt tolerance.
