TL;DR: Chloroplast DNA from Solanum incanum, a wild relative of eggplant, was used to probe total DNA of SolanUM melongena (eggplant), and the DNA fragments detected were the same as observed using purified chloroplastDNA.
Abstract: Total chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from Solanum incanum, a wild relative of eggplant, was used to probe total DNA of Solanum melongena (eggplant). The DNA fragments detected were the same as observed using purified chloroplast DNA. Chloroplast DNAs were also analysed for nine species of Solanum that are cross-compatible with eggplant: S. aethiopicum, S. anguivi, S. gilo, S. incanum, S. indicum, S. integrifolium, S. macrocarpon, S. olivare and S. panduriforme.

TL;DR: Thiourea pre-treatment reduced cellular lesions, growth injury and the death of seedlings, while post-treatment increased lethality, and incorporation of 3H-tymidine into DNA fraction gradually increased when applied before irradiation.
Abstract: Modification of induced genetic damage after exposure to LD50 and LD90 doses of 60Co gamma-irradiation on dormant seeds of Solanum incanum L. by pre- and post-treatments of thiourea was investigated. Thiourea pre-treatment reduced cellular lesions, growth injury and the death of seedlings, while post-treatment increased lethality. Incorporation of 3H-tymidine into DNA fraction gradually increased with 10-4 to 10-2 M thiourea treatment when applied before irradiation. Post-treatment of the thiourea, on the other hand, not only showed poor labelling of DNA but also delayed its synthesis.
