“…Solanum melongena L. (eggplant) is the most important member of Solanaceae (Kaniyassery et al, 2022). China is the greatest eggplant producer and Egypt is the 3rd largest producer, recording annual production of 1,396,725 tons (FAOSTAT, 2024).…”

Rhizoctonia root rot of eggplant, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is an economically important disease. Niallia circulans YRNF1 and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were assessed for their biocontrol and biofertilizing effects against R. solani, as potential replacements for synthetic fungicides and fertilizers. The diazotrophic N. circulans YRNF1, isolated from soil, reduced in vitro growth of R. solani by 42%. GC-MS analysis of culture filtrate of N. circulans YRNF1 detected bioactive compounds, including butyric acid (85%) and ethylene glycol (8%). In greenhouse experiments, combined application of N. circulans YRNF1 and AMF reduced the severity of eggplant root rot by 26%. This combined treatment triggered the transcriptional expression of five resistance genes (JERF3, PAL1, C3H, CHI2, and HQT) in the treated eggplants. Biochemical analyses of the infected eggplant roots treated with the combined bio-inoculants showed enhancement of the phenol content (+188%), and increased antioxidant enzyme activity, mainly of POD (+104%) and PPO (+72%). Combined application of N. circulans YRNF1 and AMF also promoted eggplant growth and improved the total NPK concentrations in treated plant leaves. Inoculation of eggplant with N. circulans YRNF1 in the presence of AMR increased the mycorrhization level. This is the first report of N. circulans and AMF as potential agents for biological control of Rhizoctonia root rot and growth promotion of eggplant.

“…S. melongena is also important for its medicinal properties against a range of ailments, including diabetes, heart diseases, asthma, and neuralgia due to the presence of an array of bioactive compounds including phenolics, alkaloids, carotenoids and reducing sugars (Solanke and Tawar, 2019). S. melongena is commonly grown in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world (Kaniyassery et al, 2022), and can be grown in all agro-climatic regions in Sri Lanka throughout the year (Thayaparan et al, 2019). China was the leading S. melongena producer in the world in 2020, with an estimated yield of 36 million tons accounting for over 60% of world production.…”

“…Each year, a high percentage of S. melongena crop production is lost due to diseases caused by a large number of pathogens and the majority of them are reported as fungal pathogens (Abdelaziz et al, 2022, Kaniyassery et al, 2022. S. melongena leaf is much susceptible to diseases (Anand et al, 2016), interrupting photosynthesis and reducing plant growth, crop yield and crop quality (Jain et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: Solanum melongena L. (brinjal/ eggplant) is a popular vegetable in Sri Lanka. Like many solanaceous crops, brinjal fruits and plants are susceptible to various diseases. The objective of this study was to isolate, confirm pathogenicity and characterize fungal pathogens causing leaf blight, yellowing and necrosis in S. melongena plants in selected localities in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka. Research Method: Fungi associated with symptomatic S. melongena plants collected from three localities in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka, were isolated onto potato dextrose agar and their pathogenicity was tested on healthy S. melongena plants. Fungal isolates that were confirmed to be pathogenic were subjected to morphological and molecular characterization. Findings: Fifteen fungal isolates were obtained from infected leaves of S. melongena plants, and four fungal isolates were confirmed to be pathogenic on S. melongena. Isolates H32a and H32b causing similar disease symptoms were identified as Lasiodiplodia theobromae with 99.81% sequence similarity by the analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2). The remaining two pathogenic isolates were identified as Pseudopestalotiopsis theae and Diaporthe eugeniae, with 100% and 99.82% sequence similarities, respectively. Originality/ Value: To our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf necrosis by L. theobromae, leaf yellowing by P. theae and leaf blight by D. eugeniae associated with S. melongena plants in Sri Lanka.
