...This higher phenolics concentration may be an additional indication of stress in this rootstock/scion combination, as stress conditions induce accumulation of phenolics (Dixon and Paiva, 1995; Moglia et al., 2008)....

...Grafting has proved to be an efficient tool for increasing the yield, disease resistance and quality of a number of vegetable crops (Davis et al., 2008a,b; King et al., 2008, 2010; Lee, 1994; Lee and Oda, 2003; Rivero et al., 2003)....

...The eggplant cultivar Black Beauty was grafted onto ‘Black Beauty’ rootstocks (self-grafted; BB/BB), S. torvum (STO), S. macrocarpon (SMA), S. incanum × S. melongena (SI × SM), and S. melongena × S. aethiopicum (SM × SA) rootstocks using the cleft procedure described by Lee (1994)....

...Grafting of vegetable crops is used to provide resistance to soil pests and pathogens, to increase the tolerance to abiotic stresses, to improve water or nutrient uptake, or to enhance the vigour of the scion (Davis et al., 2008a,b; King et al., 2008, 2010; Lee, 1994; Lee and Oda, 2003; Rivero et al., 2003)....

...Eggplant is grafted mainly by cleft or tube grafting techniques (Bletsos et al., 2003; Lee, 1994; Miguel et al., 2007)....

...This can be achieved by using rootstocks that have resistance to soil diseases or pests, tolerance to abiotic stress, selective absorption of available soil nutrients, or that confer a high degree of vigour to the scion (Davis et al., 2008a,b; Lee, 1994; Lee and Oda, 2003; Rivero et al., 2003)....
