Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Grafted and non-grafted eggplant differed significantly in seedling height and stem diameter.
- Observation Optifort rootstock had the longest roots.
- Observation Solanum spp. rootstocks had the largest root volume.
- Observation Self-grafted plants had significantly wider rootstock collenchyma and phloem than other groups.
- Observation Solanum spp. rootstocks had larger xylem area than self-rooted and Emperador seedlings.
- Association Rootstock xylem width correlated positively with yield at r = 0.40.
- Observation Solanum torvum rootstocks with wider xylem and more cortex cells yielded more.
- Observation Solanum integrifolium rootstocks with wider xylem and more cortex cells yielded more.
- Recommendation The authors recommend rootstock-scion combinations with favourable anatomical traits.
