    Assessment of new genetic resources to uncover potential nematode resistance traits for eggplant (Solanum melongena) improvement

    Eggplant (S. melongena L.) belongs to Solanaceae and is cultivated worldwide. Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are among the most important pathogens affecting eggplant production both in greenhouse a...

    QTL analysis reveals new eggplant loci involved in resistance to fungal wilts

    Fusarium spp. and Verticillium spp. are widespread soil pathogens responsible for vascular wilts causing heavy yield losses in eggplant (Solanum melongena) as well as in many other crops. Here we report on the id...

    A spiking strategy facilitates housekee** selection for RT-qPCR analysis under different biotic stresses in eggplant

    Endogenous housekee** genes are traditionally employed to normalize the expression of target genes in RT-qPCR studies. Assuming that a perfect housekee** suitable for every condition does not exist, expres...

    Anther Culture in Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

    The technique of in vitro anther culture is the most favorite to incite the production of plants from microspore through direct embryogenesis or regeneration from callus. Anther culture has been employed since...

    Genetic engineering of parthenocarpic fruit development in tomato

    Parthenocarpy was engineered in two genotypes of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. by using the DefH9-iaaM chimeric gene. The parthenocarpic trait consists of fruit set and growth in the absence of fertilization. ...
