We study the supersymmetric embeddings of different D-brane probes in theAdS_5 x T^{1,1} geometry. The main tool employed is kappa symmetry and thecases studied include D3-, D5- and D7-branes. We find a family of three-cyclesof the T^{1,1} space over which a D3-brane can be wrapped supersymmetricallyand we determine the field content of the corresponding gauge theory duals.Supersymmetric configurations of D5-branes wrapping a two-cycle and ofspacetime filling D7-branes are also found. The configurations in which theentire T^{1,1} space is wrapped by a D5-brane (baryon vertex) and a D7-braneare also studied. Some other embeddings which break supersymmetry but arenevertheless stable are also determined.Comment: 44 pages, LaTeX; v2: typos corrected, references added, discussion of D5-brane embeddings improve
