Abstract

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is widely cultivated as one of the most important vegetables in both subtropical and tropical regions of India. It is a popular vegetable in India, China, Turkey, Japan, Syria, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, France, Italy and USA. It is an important source of fibre (1.3 g/100g), protein (1.4 g/ 100g), vitamin-A (124 I.U) and potassium (200 mg/ 100g) and it is recommended even for patients with diabetes, asthma, cholera and bronchitis. Being primary centre of origin, India has accumulated wide range of variability in this crop. In spite of large number of varieties available in India, only few are promising.
