Journal ArticleDOI

Breeding for chlorogenic acid content in eggplant: interest and prospects.

Mariola Plazas, +6 more
- 28 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the available data suggest that the development of eggplant cultivars with improved functional quality resulting from a higher CGA content is feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity in morphological characters and phenolic acids content resulting from an interspecific cross between eggplant, Solanum melongena, and its wild ancestor (S. incanum)

Jaime Prohens, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that improvement of functional quality in S. melongena can be obtained using S. incanum as a donor of alleles for high phenolic acids content, and suggest that a rapid recovery of the characteristic combination of S.Melongena traits can be achieved in a few backcross generations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and Relationships of Eggplants from Three Geographically Distant Secondary Centers of Diversity

Maria Hurtado, +6 more
- 27 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: The PCA analysis showed that eggplants from the three origins were morphologically differentiated, and accessions from each of the three secondary centers of diversity presented a typical combination of morphological characteristics, and the genetic differentiation among origins was less clear than for morphological traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and relationships in key traits for functional and apparent quality in a collection of eggplant: fruit phenolics content, antioxidant activity, polyphenol oxidase activity, and browning.

Mariola Plazas, +9 more
- 06 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is possible to develop new eggplant varieties with improved functional and apparent quality, and principal components analysis (PCA) identified four groups of accessions with different profiles for the traits studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenomics of fruit shape in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) using Tomato Analyzer software

Maria Hurtado, +6 more
- 17 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results obtained show that the Tomato Analyzer image software tool is of great utility for phenomics studies of fruit shape in eggplant, which is of interest for characterization of germplasm and cultivars, and for selection and breeding.
