Abstract Indo-Burmese region was the primary center of eggplant diversity from where the crop extended to several
secondary origins of diversity. In this study, the genetic diversity among fifty-six eggplant accessions collected from
three countries was assessed using sixteen polymorphic SSR markers to determine suitable parents for heterotic
hybridization. The estimation of genetic diversity among the population of three countries (Bangladesh, Malaysia, and
Thailand) varied from 0.57 to 0.74, with Shannon’s index value of 0.65. The mean value of expected heterozygosity
and Nei’s index was 0.49, with an average PIC value of 0.83. A dendrogram was constructed based on UPGMA
