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:

Effect of grafting on yield and quality of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)
Alessandra Moncada,Alessandro Miceli,Filippo Vetrano,Valerio Mineo,Diego Planeta,Fabio D'Anna +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating yield and quality of eggplant cultivars (Birgah, Black Bell, Black Moon and Longo) grafted or ungrafted onto Solanum torvum found that grafted plants had lower mortality, while yield andquality of fruits were mostly influenced by cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome analysis and molecular marker discovery in Solanum incanum and S. aethiopicum, two close relatives of the common eggplant (Solanum melongena) with interest for breeding
Pietro Gramazio,José Blanca,Pello Ziarsolo,Francisco Javier Herraiz,Mariola Plazas,Jaime Prohens,Santiago Vilanova +6 more
TL;DR: This work provides a broad insight into gene sequences and allelic variation in S. incanum and S. aethiopicum and is a first step toward better understanding of target genes involved in metabolic pathways relevant for eggplant breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving seed germination of the eggplant rootstock Solanum torvum by testing multiple factors using an orthogonal array design
R. H. G. Ranil,H.M.L. Niran,Mariola Plazas,R. M. Fonseka,H. H. Fonseka,Santiago Vilanova,Isabel Andújar,Pietro Gramazio,Ana Fita,Jaime Prohens +9 more
TL;DR: An improved proposed protocol that consisted of subjecting seeds to soaking, the application of GA 3 and KNO 3 , cold stratification, heat shock, and light irradiation was validated and demonstrated to be highly effective, with seed germination success greater than 60% being observed at 3 days and final germination reaching a plateau at 6 days.

Overcoming biotic and abiotic stresses in the Solanaceae through grafting: current status and future perspectives
J.D.H. Keatinge,L. J. Lin,Andreas W. Ebert,W.Y. Chen,J.d'A. Hughes,G. Luther,J. F. Wang,M. Ravishankar +7 more
TL;DR: A review of the status of the use of grafting in two solanaceous crops of global importance, tomato and eggplant, for the control of biotic and abiotic stresses supports an initiative to upgrade grafting technology through evaluation of a new and wider range of rootstocks sourced from the AVRDC genebank.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solanum insanum L. (subgenus Leptostemonum Bitter, Solanaceae), the neglected wild progenitor of eggplant ( S. melongena L.): a review of taxonomy, characteristics and uses aimed at its enhancement for improved eggplant breeding
R. H. G. Ranil,Jaime Prohens,Xavier Aubriot,H.M.L. Niran,Mariola Plazas,R. M. Fonseka,Santiago Vilanova,H. H. Fonseka,Pietro Gramazio,Sandra Knapp +9 more
TL;DR: The taxonomy, phytogeography, ecology and habitat characteristics, cytology, ethnobotany, breeding and phytochemical analysis of S. insanum are reviewed and its potential for eggplant improvement with respect to phyt biochemical properties of interest for human health is revealed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Agricultural experimentation: design and analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of Latin square design and split-split plots, as well as the complete block design, and the randomized complete block and split block design.

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.
