Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Grafted eggplant had greater height, stem diameter, and leaf area than ungrafted plants.
- Observation The growth advantage of grafted eggplant increased over time.
- Intervention effect Grafted eggplant had higher root active absorbing area and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Grafted eggplant had higher POX and PAL activities.
- Intervention effect Grafting decreased comparative conductivity by 42.42%.
- Intervention effect Grafting decreased free proline content by 44.08%.
- Intervention effect Fruit soluble sugar, vitamin C, and protein were not lower under grafting.
- Intervention effect Grafting did not significantly affect fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants had more rhizosphere bacteria, actinomyces, and total microbes.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants had higher actinomyces-to-fungi and bacteria-to-fungi ratios.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants had higher microbial biomass.
- Intervention effect Grafted plants had lower fungal populations.
- Intervention effect Grafting enhanced rhizosphere urease and catalase activities.
- Mechanism Authors suggest altered growth and microbial traits may strengthen Verticillium wilt resistance.
