Abstract

Solanum melongena L. is an important vegetable crop widely consumed in all continents. Fifty six entries comprising forty five hybrids, and ten parents along with one standard hybrid ABH-1 as check were evaluated in three seasons for DUS and character inheritance pattern. Study of qualitative characters depicted dominance of purple flower over white; presence or absence of spines on leaves, calyx and stem, monogenic or pleiotropic in action; elongated (ellipsoid and cylindrical) fruit shape dominant over round (globular, ovoid and obovate) fruit shape and round shape dominant over oval (pear and club shaped) fruit shape; purple calyx colour dominant over green and fruit colour ranging from white purple to dark purple showing quantitative nature of gene expression.
