(3 accessions). Subclaster A is characterized by having light yellow seed. Subclaster<br />

B consists of S. torvum collected in Thailand (2 accessions) and one accessions<br />

collected in Laos. This subcluster is characterized by having grey yellow seed. This<br />

cluster is homogenous for 10 traits except seed color. The unique of this cluster is for<br />

very strong leaf blade lobbing and green fruit color at riping stage.<br />

Cluster VI: the sixth cluster is the second largest group, consisting of 17<br />

accessions belong to S. ferox. This account for the 24.64 % of the total accessions<br />

stratified. Except for the yield per plant and seed color, these subclusters are<br />

homogenous for the remaining nine nominal traits which were used to describe the<br />

accessions. Cluster VI can be divided into four subclusters using yield per plant and<br />

seed color. Among them, subcluster C is the largest with 12 component accessions<br />

(20.29 %) merged at 100 % similarity which, they were collected from Laos (5<br />

accessions) and Thailand (7 accessions) with low fruit yield per plant and light yellow<br />

seed. Subcluster A and D comprise two accessions. Subcluster A is represented by<br />

TS02989 and TS02978 collected from Laos. These subcluster having the intermediate<br />

fruit yield per plant and light yellow seed. Subcluster D is a group of two homogenous<br />

accessions which collected from Malaysia with low fruit yield per plant and grey<br />

yellow seed. For subcluster B, is the only one accession collected from Thailand. This<br />

subcluster was separated from the other subcluster because it is the only one<br />

subcluster with very low fruit yield per plant and light yellow seed.<br />

This cluster can be distinguished from the rest by having the strong leaf blade<br />

lobbing, the acute (~ 45°) of leaf blade tip angle and yellow orange fruit at<br />

physiological maturity.<br />

Cluster VII is a mixture of accessions, belong to S. sanitwongsai and S.<br />

indicum. This cluster consists of 8 accessions which account for 11.59 % of the total<br />

accessions stratified. Cluster VII is homogeneous for the remaining of 7 nominal traits<br />

except plant growth habit, leaf blade lobbing, leaf blade angle and yield per plant,<br />

these traits can be divided into four subclusters.<br />
