TL;DR: There is ample variation within eggplant for composition traits and this can be exploited for the selection of varieties with nutritionally improved characteristics, and several landraces with high nutritional quality are identified.

TL;DR: Grafting eggplant onto interspecific eggplant hybrids, especially on the SI × SM hybrid, has proved advantageous for eggplant production, as the high vigour and good compatibility of the rootstock with scion results in improved early and total yield without negative effects on apparent fruit quality or composition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship among, as well as the variation and heritability of, the content of phenolics, ascorbic acid, and soluble solids; pH; and the degree of browning and color difference of the cut surface of the fruit flesh in a collection of 69 eggplant varieties.

TL;DR: The results show that organic management and fertilization have a positive effect on the accumulation of certain beneficial minerals and phenolic compounds in eggplant and that organically and conventionally produced eggplants might be distinguished according to their composition profiles.

TL;DR: It was found that sucrose and citric acid were the most important soluble sugar and organic acid, respectively, in tree tomato, and that tree tomato is a good source of K, Mg, and Cu.
