e0“Under water stress,as compared with those of self-rooted eggplants,the plant height and stem diameter,the fresh weight and dry weight of aboveground parts and roots,and the leaf relative water content and chlorophyll content of grafted eggplants all had a significant increase,while the leaf relative conductivity and MDA had a significant decrease.”

- Intervention effect Water stress severely restricted growth of grafted and self-rooted eggplants.
- Intervention effect Grafted and self-rooted eggplants had no obvious growth difference under CK.
- Intervention effect Growth differed significantly between grafted and self-rooted eggplants under light and severe water stress.
- Intervention effect Under water stress, grafted eggplants had a significant increase in plant height and stem diameter compared with self-rooted eggplants.
- Intervention effect Under water stress, grafted eggplants had a significant increase in fresh weight and dry weight of aboveground parts and roots compared with self-rooted eggplants.
- Intervention effect Under water stress, grafted eggplants had a significant increase in leaf relative water content and chlorophyll content compared with self-rooted eggplants.
- Intervention effect Grafting significantly increased leaf soluble sugar and proline contents.
- Association Differences in leaf SOD and POD activities between grafted and self-rooted eggplants grew with more and longer water stress.
- Recommendation The authors suggest grafting to improve eggplant growth and adaptation to moderate drought.
