Eggplant relatives as sources of variation for developing new rootstocks: Effects of grafting on eggplant yield and fruit apparent quality and composition
TLDR
Grafting eggplant onto interspecific eggplant hybrids, especially on the SI × SM hybrid, has proved advantageous for eggplant production, as the high vigour and good compatibility of the rootstock with scion results in improved early and total yield without negative effects on apparent fruit quality or composition.About:

Earliness and yield parameters of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) grafts under different spacing and fertigation levels
TL;DR: cultivation of eggplant grafts under 1 × 1 m spacing along with 100% RDF (200:150:100 kg NPK/ha) through drip fertigation is recommended.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rootstocks can promote vigour by reducing DNA methylation in the scion genome, following similar principles found in some heterotic hybrids.

TL;DR: In this article , the synergistic effect of grafting eggplant onto various allied potential rootstocks (Solanum torvum, S. aethiopicum and S. macrocarpon) and applying a plant growth-promoting bacteria (Azospirillum brasilense DSM 2298) on eggplant growth, production, fruit quality traits (nutritional and functional features) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was evaluated.

Effect of grafting on the quality and apperance of eggplant fruit
Maryam Mozafarian,Noémi Kappel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized available information on the effects of grafting and different rootstocks on eggplant fruit quality, and found contradictory results of fruit quality and appearance even in eggplant grafting due to different production environments, types of rootstock/scion combinations.

Colorimetry of Total Phenolics with Phosphomolybdic-Phosphotungstic Acid Reagents
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent rather than the FolinDenis reagent, gallic acid as a reference standard, and a more reproducible time-temperature color development period was investigated.

Stress-Induced Phenylpropanoid Metabolism.
Richard A. Dixon,Nancy L. Paiva +1 more
TL;DR: Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the structural classes, because many compounds that are constitutive in one plant species or tissue can be induced by various stresses in another species or in another tissue of the same plant.

Cultivation of grafted vegetables. I. Current status, grafting methods, and benefits
TL;DR: Growing grafted vegetables, compared to growing grafted trees, is seldom practiced in the United States or in other western countries where land use is not intensive, i.e., proper crop rotation is being practiced, however, it is highly popular in Korea, Japan, and some Asian and European countries whereLand use is very intensive and the farming area is small.
