Descrizione:
Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous vegetable crop of India. Total 75 genera and over 2000 species includes with wide range of morphological characters of brinjal including fruits shapes, color and size. Brinjal is a native to Indian subcontinent with India as probable centre of origin. It has 2n=24 chromosome number. Only characterization based on phenotypic character is unreliable since they can be affected by environmental conditions. Therefore use of biochemical markers like isoenzyme, protein profiling and molecular markers like RAPD, ISSR, SSR are of great significance in characterization of genotypes and in phylogeny studies.These biochemical and molecular markers having great important; and applications in field of plant biotechnology, plant breeding, seed production and seed testing programs.
