| description | Genetic divergence analysis in brinjal genetic resources consisting of landraces, related cultivated species and wild
relatives based on 22 morphological descriptors revealed distinct variation between cultivated and wild genotypes
for the plant, flowering and fruiting characters. The multivariate D2 analysis grouped the 30 accessions into eight
clusters revealing a clear separation of wild relatives and cultivated types. The characters fruit yield per plant, leaf
size and fruit number had high contribution towards the genetic divergence. SM- 27 (cluster V), SM- 25 (cluster III)
and SM-23, SM-24,SM-20, SM-18, SM-10 and SM- 8 (cluster I) were the promising accessions identified based on
superior performance for three yield attributes viz., fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant. The
accessions SM- 25, SM- 27, SM- 28 (Solanum incanum) and SM-30 (Solanum insanum) of highly divergent clusters
III, V and VIII respectively were identified as potential parents for future introgression breeding. |
