“…There were at least 33 Sanskrit names for eggplant in ancient Indian literature, the most common being Varttaka, Bhantaki and Nattingan (Swarup 1995). First record of this crop in Europe came in the fifteenth century, however, it did not become generally known there until the seventeenth century.…”

SummaryThirty five diverse genotypes of brinjal collected from different parts of Eastern India were characterized as per the documented descriptors and were evaluated for their morphological and yield component characters during autumn-winter season. All the brinjal genotypes under study showed highly significant variations among twelve quantitative traits. However, a wide range of days to 50% of flowering (47-79), fruit length (8.70 -23.90 cm), fruit girth (2.67-10.30 cm), fruit weight (52.33-319.37 g), number of marketable fruit per plant (4.33-12.00) and marketable fruit yield per plant (0.39-1.68 kg) among the genotypes was observed. Three characters namely, fruit weight, plant height and days to 50% of flowering exhibited high heritability and genetic advance indicating that such situation may arise due to the action of additive genes controlling the characters. The genotypic and phenotypic correlations agreed closely with each other. Fruit weight and fruit girth exhibited significantly positive correlations with marketable fruit yield per plant. Among the eleven yield component traits, fruit weight and number of marketable fruits per plant showed highly positive direct effect on marketable fruit yield per plant. Attention should be paid on selection based on marketable fruit weight and number of marketable fruits per plant for marketable yield improvement of brinjal.

“…Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) popularly known as eggplant belongs to the family Solanaceous. Eggplant cultivars are characterized as tall plant with large spiny leaves, calyx and stems, bearing inflorescences with andromonoecy and producing small green bitter fruits with thick skin, hard flesh and many seeds [4]. The fruit is fleshy berry and color changes from shiny purple to white, green, yellow and black.…”

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for both vegetative and reproductive growth of plants. Above and below the optimum level vegetative as well as the reproductive growth negatively affected therefore the experiment was designed to evaluate the response of brinjal cultivars to various levels (0, 70, 100, and 130 kg ha-1) of nitrogen in the year of 2014. All the treatments were randomly assigned with split plot arrangement with three replicates. Nitrogen levels were considered as main plot treatments and brinjal cultivars (Shamli, Black Long, Purple Long) as subplot treatments. Both cultivars and nitrogen levels showed significant difference among growth parameters. Plant height, days to flowering, days to fruiting, number of leaves plant-1 , number of fruits plant-1 , fruit weight, total yield and survival percentage were significantly increased by nitrogen levels. Maximum plant height (138.22 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (434.44), days to fruiting (64),days to flowering (39),fruit weight (74.50 g), number of fruits plant-1 (16.37), total yield (13.72 t ha-1) and survival percentage (98.50%) were observed in plots received nitrogen at 130 kg ha-1 , however, control plots were recorded with the lowest survival percentage. Among cultivars, maximum plant height (120.83cm),days to flowering (38), days to fruiting (54), number of leaves plant-1 (349.17), fruit weight (72.42g), total fruits plant-1 (15.37), total yield (13.26 t ha-1) and survival percentage (95.38%), were recorded in cultivar Purple Long, while minimum values for these parameters were recorded in cultivar Black long. It is concluded from the results that cultivar Purple Long with 130kg N ha-1 showed better results regarding growth and yield; hence it is recommended to cultivate mentioned cultivar under the agro climatic condition of Peshawar for optimum growth and yield.

“…These include S. aethiopicum, S. anomalum, S. macrocarpon, S. incanum, S. nigrum, S. gilo and S. duplosinuatum grown in Africa; S. muricatum, S. quitoense, S. piliferum and S. topiro in Central and South America; and S blumei, S. indicum, S. macrocarpon, S. nigrum and S. torvum in southeast Asia (Swarup, 1995). Current evidence suggests that eggplant is native to India, with secondary centers of diversity in other parts of southeast Asia and China (Swarup, 1995).…”

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is ranked among the top ten vegetables in terms of oxygen radical absorbance capacity due to its fruit's phenolic constituents. Several potential health promoting effects have been ascribed to plant phenolic phytochemicals. We report here a first evaluation of phenolic acid constituents in eggplant fruit from accessions in the USDA eggplant core subset. The core subset includes 101 accessions of the cultivated eggplant, S. melongena, and 14 accessions representing four related eggplant species, S. aethiopicum L., S. anguivi Lam., S. incanum L., and S. macrocarpon L. Significant differences in phenolic acid content and composition were evident among the five eggplant species and among genotypes within species. Fourteen compounds separated by HPLC, that were present in many but not all accessions, were identified or tentatively identified as hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) derivatives based on HPLC elution times, UV absorbance spectra, ES-—MS mass spectra, and in some cases proton NMR data. These phenolics were grouped into five classes: chlorogenic acid isomers, isochlorogenic acid isomers, hydroxycinnamic acid amide conjugates, unidentified caffeic acid conjugates, and acetylated chlorogenic acid isomers. Among S. melongena accessions, there was a nearly 20-fold range in total HCA content. Total HCA content in S. aethiopicum and S. macrocarpon was low relative to S. melongena. A S. anguivi accession had the highest HCA content among core subset accessions. Chlorogenic acid isomers ranged from 63.4% to 96% of total HCAs in most core accessions. Two atypical accessions, S. anguivi PI 319855 and S. incanum PI500922, exhibited strikingly different HCA conjugate profiles, which differed from those of all other core subset accessions by the presence of several unique phenolic compounds. Our findings on eggplant fruit phenolic content provide opportunities to improve eggplant fruit quality and nutritive value.
