Mineral composition and their genetic variability analysis in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) germplasm
Eggplant, Solanum melongena L. is one of the most popular and major vegetable crops grown inSouth Asia and other parts of the world. It is an important source of plant-derived nutrients like minerals, available throughout the year and popular among the poor. Thirty two morphologically diverse eggpl...

Thirty two morphologically diverse eggplant germplasm accessions were analyzed for macro- and micro-minerals. Significant differences in the mineral content among the germplasm accessions were detected. Potassium and magnesium ranged from 177.19 to 274.48 mg and 6.25 to 18.34 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW), respectively.
