Biology and Management of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Shoot and Fruit Borer: A Review

Journal of the Bangladesh Agricultural University
Eggplant (Solanum melongena Linnaeus) is a vital crop in South Asia, valued for its use in both raw and cooked dishes. However, its cultivation is severely threatened by the eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guen.), which damages the plant from the seedling stage to harvest. The larval phase of this pest bores into shoots and fruits,

Nature's Shield: Exploring Nonglandular Trichomes (NGT) as Key Players in Plant Defense Mechanisms

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Trichomes are found on almost all terrestrial plants and are derived from epidermal cells. Nonglandular trichomes (NGTs) protect plants from environmental stress, such as pest and pathogen invasion, reduce water loss, and increase resistance to abiotic stressors, including UV radiation, cold, and extreme temperatures.
