: Eggplants exhibit unique resilience to flooding by maintaining root health and photosynthetic function even after nine days of partial submersion, unlike related crops such as tomato. While flooding reduced leaf area—likely to lower water demand—photosynthesis remained stable, and oxidative stress was effectively controlled through increased ascorbic acid and peroxidase activity. These findings highlight eggplant’s diverse tolerance strategies and offer insights for developing flood-resilient crops in agricultural regions prone to waterlogging.
