Determination of Superior Turkish Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Genotypes by Pedigree Selection Method

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), belonging to the Solanaceae family, is widely grown in Turkey. It is also one of the important vegetable species in Turkey. Additionally, Turkey has valuable eggplant populations. This study was conducted to select valuable local eggplant genetic resources under the ecological conditions of Samsun province in 2016. In this study, 75 eggplant genotypes were detailed from different eco-geographical regions of Turkey. The weighted ranking method was also used to select superior eggplant genotypes with pedigree selection. It was determined that the total weighted ranking scores of eggplant genotypes studied was in the range of 290-475 point. According to the total weighted ranked scores, 20 promising eggplant genotypes with a score of 420 and above were determined for use in the variety breeding program. At the end of this research, the genotypes G30, G43, G49, G51 and G55 were determined to be superior for further breeding studies.
