(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 />
