- Intervention effect Desiccation significantly reduced leaf tissue moisture content across eggplant species.
- Intervention effect Solanum macrocarpum showed greater photosystem II efficiency after 54 h of desiccation, with sustained fluorescence.
- Intervention effect Solanum torvum showed greater photosystem II efficiency after 54 h of desiccation.
- Intervention effect Solanum indicum showed greater photosystem II efficiency after 54 h of desiccation.
- Intervention effect PSII functions declined gradually in S. macrocarpum and S. torvum, unlike in other species.
- Observation Solanum macrocarpum kept PSII efficiency above 50% of its initial quantum yield at 35% leaf RWC after 54 h.
- Observation Solanum torvum showed a 50% decrease in PSII efficiency at 31% RWC after 54 h.
- Observation The susceptible species S. gilo and S. sisymbriifolium showed a 50% reduction in PSII function at an early stage of 50% RWC.
- Observation Solanum melongena showed the same 50% reduction in PSII function, at 40% RWC.
