The investigation was conducted at the Olericulture Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute and the laboratory work was done at Vegetable Research Technology Section, Institute of Food Science and Technology, Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh during 2019-20 with ten types (Six- OP, four- Hybrid) of eggplant cultivar viz., BARI Begun-4, BARI Begun-6, BARI Begun- 8, BARI Begun-10, BARI Hybrid Begun-2, BARI Hybrid Begun-4, SM233, SM275, Hybrid 5x216 and Hybrid 21x11 to study the nutritional composition and its human health benefit. Eggplant is ranked amongst the most top ten vegetables that provide the healthiest food with low calories and also contain high phenolic contents that are helpful in radical absorbing capacity. Each vegetable contains a unique amount of various nutrients that are strongly linked with the protection of different health diseases. There were no significant differences among the six OP and four hybrid cultivars regarding yield. Fruit yield was more or less the same but the main differences were in fruit size and color as well as fruit shape. We got the moisture content (91.39-94.87%, crude fiber (1.01-2.48%), ash (0.37-0.62%), protein (0.85-1.54%), fat (0.02-0.4%), carbohydrate (4.27-6.63%), energy (19.59-32.1Kcal), sugar (0.48-1.38%), ascorbic acid (6.57-17.21 mg 100g-1), anthocyanin (6.31-78.51 mgC3GE 100g-1). Significant amount of mineral were present in eggplant cultivars viz., K (122.38-162.27mg 100g-1), Na (4.06-8.51 mg 100g-1), Ca (26.62-48.33 mg 100g-1), P (14.45-23.45 mg 100g-1), Mg (15.42-24.8 mg 100g-1), Fe (0.91-5.0mg 100g-1), Zn (0.22-0.57mg 100g-1), Mn (0.25-0.41mg 100g-1) and Cu (0.10-0.16mg 100g-1). These nutritional amounts will able to provide a significant amount of nutrition to the human body for the proper growth. These compounds were found helpful in the cure of various diseases like cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, anti-platelet hypo-lipidemic, and hypotensive, etc. Today most modern scientific techniques are available to cure different various health problems but still majority of the population across the globe depends upon the vegetables sources nutritious food.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) commonly called Brinjal is the most popular vegetable in Bangladesh. It is extensively cultivated around homesteads and in commercial fields throughout the year. It is estimated that nearly 67 percent of the eggplant crop yield in Bangladesh is lost due to the damage caused by Leucinodes orbonalis also known as eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB). EFSB is reportedly the most serious pest of eggplant. To overcome this EFSB problem Bt eggplant project has been initiated in 2004. The Agricultural Biotechnology Support Project II (ABSPII) is a USAID-supported project that has funded the development of Bt eggplant in Bangladesh under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) received the Event EE-1 eggplant in Mahyco and backcrossed into nine popular eggplant varieties of Bangladesh selected based on the regional consumer preference. The efficacy of cry1Ac gene in providing effective resistance to the target pest was also assessed in terms of productively (fruit yield increase) which was studied in 9 Bt eggplant lines for a period of 7 years from 2008 to 2015. To launch the best 4 varieties, BARI applied to the National Technical Committee on Crop Biotechnology (NTCCB). For release of GM crop variety, first of all follow the recommendation of NTCCB, then submitted to the National Technical Committee on Crop Biotechnology (NTCCB) Core Committee and then to the National Committee on Biosafety (NCB). The Bangladesh government approved four varieties namely, BARI Bt Begun-1 (Uttara), BARI Bt Begun-2 (Kazla), BARI Bt Begun-3 (Nayantara) and BARI Bt Begun-4 (BARI Begun-6 or ISD006) on 30 October 2013 and these got momentum countrywide. On 22 January 2014, Bt seedlings were distributed among 20 farmers in four districts of Bangladesh as the first genetically modified (GM) crops. After the government of Bangladesh approved the cultivation of Bt eggplant in 2013, its popularity is increasing day by day and the socio-economic condition of the farmers is also improving. Bt eggplant started its journey in 2014 with only 20 farmers, in seven years it has grown to about 27012 farmers and from 8 acres to about 5,000 acres. This advancement of Bt eggplant has also faced opposition from different quarters at different times. Today, the progress of Bt eggplant continues by overcoming all obstacles. Field days, trainings, various publications, documentary making, use of mass and social media, observations, workshops, stewardship activities are acting as important regulators of this progress.

“…Depending on the level of oxidative stress, diseases such as cardiological disorders, cancer, alzeimer and Parkinson may occur in human bodies. Supplementary antioxidants are used to reduce the effects of oxidative stress (Korkmaz et al, 2018;Glad, 2019). In this context, determining the antioxidant potential of plants is very important in determining natural antioxidant sources.…”

Plants are important natural materials used in complementary medicine. In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Scorzonera papposa DC. collected from Duhok (Iraq) and Gaziantep (Turkey) regions were determined. Extracts of aerial parts and roots of the plant with ethanol were obtained. Antioxidant and oxidant potentials were determined by using Rel Assay Diagnostics kits. Antimicrobial activities were tested against bacteria and fungus strains using the agar dilution method. In our study, it was determined that S. papposa has important antioxidant activity. Also, It was found that extracts of plant parts were effective at 50-800 µg/mL concentrations. As a result, it was determined that S. papposa could be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent that can be used in complementary medicine.
