Isolation, Selection And Characterization Of Parthenocarpic Fruit Somaclonal Variant In Brinjal (Solanum Melongena L. Var. PPL)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) also known as eggplant (England) or Aubergine (France) belonging to the Solanaceae family is one of the most important vegetable crops of India (Daunay, 2008). Important brinjal growing countries are India, Japan, Indonesia, China, Bulgaria and many African countries (Vavilov, 1928). In India, brinjal is referred by various names viz., Baigan (Hindi), Badanekai (Kannada), Vangi (Marathi), Katharikai (Tamil), Vankai (Telugu) (De Candolle,1883). Brinjal fruits are a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins (Singh & Kumar 2006). Its green leaves are the main source of vitamin C (Gurbuza et.al., 2018). Brinjal has got much potential as raw material in pickle making. (Asaolu & Asaolu 2002). The dark purple brinjal are stated to be rich in vitamin C in comparison with white brinjal (Tabing & Tiwari, 2018).
