| Description | The Solanum macrocarpon complex (the cultivated egg plant) has been studied in Ghana using morphological and experimental methods. Six cultivars belonging to the S. macrocarpon complex have been recognized and described. The cultivars are S. macrocarpon ‘Gboma’, S. macrocarpon ‘Mankessim’, S. macrocarpon ‘Akwaseho’, S. macrocarpon ‘Kade’, S. macrocarpon ‘Sarpeiman’ and S. macrocarpon ‘Bui’. The very spiny, hairy plant traditionally called S. dasyphyllum is regarded as the wild ancestor from which the cultivars have been derived through a process of crop evolution. The variation within S. macrocarpon complex is attributable to genotypic differences and environmental factors. | |
