Abstract
The biochemical basis of host plant resistance for shoot and fruit borer of brinjal was investigated using selected genotypes from the back crosses involving cultivated brinjal varieties and Solanum viarum. The different levels of biochemical constituents namely peroxidase, poly phenol oxidase, total phenols, and solasodine contents were observed in genotypes derived from inter-specific crosses and their parents. A higher level of polyphenol oxidase activity was observed in interspecific cross F 6 EP65 x S. viarum. There was a clear correlation between the levels of biochemical constituents and shoot and fruit borer incidence. This study showed the biochemical parameters responsible for the resistance but showed as well the development of superior genotypes with resistance to shoot and fruit borer.
期刊介绍:
EurAsian Journal of BioSciences (Abbrev. Eurasia J Biosci or EJOBIOS) is an international, refereed electronic journal. It publishes the results of original research in the field of biological sciences restricted tomorphology, physiology, genetics, taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of both prokaryotic and eucaryotic organisms. The journal encourages submission of manuscripts dealing with plant biology, animal biology, plant physiology, microbiology, hydrobiology, ecology and environmental science, ethnobiology, biodiversity and conservation biology. EurAsian Journal of BioSciences publishes original articles in the following areas: -Agriculture, Fisheries & Food -Anatomy & Morphology -Behavioural Sciences -Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology -Biophysics -Biology Education -Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences -Ecology, Evolution & Environment -Entomology -Forestry -General Biology -Genetics & Heredity -Life Sciences - Other topics -Microbiology and Immunology -Molecular Biology -Mycology -Palaeontology -Parasitology -Pharmacology & Pharmacy -Physiology and Related Sciences -Plant Sciences -Toxicology -Veterinary Sciences -Virology -Zoology
