Abstract:
More praline and phenol was measured in 30, 60 and 90 days old Meloidogyne incognita infected roots of both susceptible (Pusa Purple Long) and resistant (RHR-51) cultivars of the brinjal as compared to their corresponding healthy roots. Upto 599.0% increase in praline was found in 60 days old infected susceptible cultivars over its healthy counterpart. Upto 29.91% increase in phenolic content was observed in 60 days old infected resistant cultivar.
