Abstract
Solanum melongena L. (2n = 2x = 24) belongs to family Solanaceae (Nightshades), comprises around 98 genera and 2,700 species with huge diversity in terms of habitats, morphology and ecology. It is extensively cultivated vegetable crop in various countries parts of the world (Singh and Kalda 2001). However, India is the centre of diversity for this crop. Its primitive types are tall plants with broad and thorny leaves, clustered and andromonoecies flowers, small green fruits having bitter taste, hard pulp and thick peel.
