摘要
Eggplant cultivars from a world collection were classified into 11 groups by 18 characteristics using numerical taxonomic methods. Distinguishing characteristics of groups were identified on the basis of extreme means, and a key to the groups, based first on characteristics of the foliage, was devised. Some of the groups were also characterized by specific geographical origins. When eggplants were classified by geographical origin, however, less cohesive groups than those above were formed, but certain characteristics could be associated with orgins of eggplants. Thus, variation in this large eggplant sample is not distributed at random. © 1979 H. Veenman En Zonen B.V.
