Seed priming, a pre-sowing technique that enhances the antioxidant/DNA repair activities
during the pre-germinative metabolism, still retains empirical features. We explore for the …

Eggplant berries are rich in anthocyanins like delphinidin-3-rutinoside (D3R) and nasunin
(NAS), which are accumulated at high amounts in the peel. NAS is derived by D3R through …

Here we focus on the highly conserved MYB-bHLH-WD repeat (MBW) transcriptional
complex model in eggplant, which is pivotal in the transcriptional regulation of the …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) yield is highly sensitive to N fertilization, the excessive
use of which is responsible for environmental and human health damage. Lowering N input …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), similar to many other crops, suffers from soil-borne
diseases, including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (Fom), causing wilting and …

Nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is a complex trait of great interest in breeding programs
because through its improvement, high crop yields can be maintained whilst N supply is …

The adaptive mechanisms in Agave species enable them to survive and exhibit remarkable
tolerance to abiotic stresses. Quantitative real-time PCR is a highly reliable approach for …

Eggplant is a vegetable crop with high economic value that is cultivated worldwide. The
dwarf mutant is an important germplasm material that has been extensively used in crop …

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR is a sensitive technique for evaluating transcriptional
profiles in different experimental datasets. To obtain a reliable quantification of the …

Dwarfism is a desirable trait in eggplant breeding, as it confers higher lodging resistance
and allows simplified management and harvest. However, a few dwarf mutants have been …
