  We present a brief summary of exact results on the non-perturbative effective
superpotential of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories based on generalized
Konishi anomaly equations. In particular we consider theories with classical
gauge groups and chiral matter in two-index tensor representations. All these
theories can be embedded into theories with unitary gauge group and adjoint
matter. This embedding can be used to derive expressions for the exact
non-perturbative superpotential in terms of the 1/N expansion of the free
energy of the related matrix models.
