Using pollinator insects or treating flowers with phytohormones is necessary for stable fruit setting in forcing culture of eggplant using plastic houses. However, these means are costly and/or labor-intensive. Use of parthenocarpic cultivars is considered to be the most cost-effective solution for stable fruit setting under sub-optimal environmental conditions such as lower temperature in forcing culture. ‘Anominori’, a parthenocarpic eggplant cultivar, was developed by the National Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science in 2006. This cultivar is the F1 hybrid between two parthenocarpic inbred lines, ‘AE-P08’ and ‘AE-P01’. ‘AE-P08’ was selected from the cross between an F3 plant derived from ‘Nakate Shinkuro’ × ‘Talina’ and an F4 plant derived from ‘Talina’ × ‘Nasu Chuukanbohon Nou 1’. ‘AE-P01’ was selected from the cross between ‘Talina’ and ‘Nasu Chuukanbohon Nou 1’. ‘Anomi-nori’ can produce sufficient yields for commercial use without treating with phytohormones or using pollinator insects in forcing culture. The plant characteristics of ‘Anominori’ are the following: high plant height, long internode, thick stem and large leaves. The fruit of ‘Anominori’ at harvest stage is long egg-shaped and glossy dark purple. The flesh of fruit is very dense.
