**4. Discussion**

In the present study, numerous qualitative and quantitative features were assessed in 130 brinjal genotypes in order to discover superior genotypes. Genetic diversity research is critical for the successful evaluation, preservation, and use of germplasm resources [40]. The breeding strategy is mostly determined by the degree of genetic variation, and morphological characteristics are viewed as a critical initial step in characterizing and identifying plant genetic resources [41]. Screening for qualitative and quantitative features is crucial for determining a plant's socioeconomic preferences.
