Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) fruit is known for vegetables of diet food having a high moisture content, low caloritic value, good source of antioxidants as well as some phytonutrients. The present experiment was conducted with an objective to examine molecular diversity among brinjal genotypes and varieties associated with quality characteristics and fruit proximate composition of brinjal fruits. The three year pooled data that the most diverse varieties were found GOB-1 and JBGR-1 compared to the other promising genotypes and varieties based biochemical, nutritional analysis. The clustering pattern on the basis of molecular analysis (SSR) depicting diverse varieties GOB-1 and GJB-3 out grouped from other genotypes with 48% similarity. The diverse GOB-1 contained higher protein, total soluble solids, soluble sugars, phenols, ascorbic acid, PPO activity and flavanoid content and lower in glycoalkaloids and acidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
