Exploring phenotypic stability for berry yield of Solasodine rich germplasm accessions of Kantakari (Solanum virginianum L.), using AMMI stability model.

ABSTRACT: Kantakari (Solanum virginianum L.) is an important medicinal plant used in various traditional systems of medicine in India. It is an important source of 'Solasodine' a steroidal alkaloid which has wide industrial applications, including oral contraceptives and other pharmaceutical uses. Non availability of improved varieties of kantakari affects the yield and quality of raw drug used for medicinal applications. Development of varieties with high berry yield with acceptable level of stability is challenging in Kantakari. The study explores a multivariate approach to decipher the stability of berry yield in solasodine rich germplasm accessions of Kantakari. Twenty-three accessions of kantakari collected from diverse geographical locations were evaluated in a randomized block design with thr
