Accumulation of cadmium in vegetables poses serious threats to human health; therefore it is necessary to study the accumulation of cadmium in the edible parts. Eggplant has a higher tendency for cadmium accumulation, plants grown in soil system cannot project the true picture of cadmium tolerance, due to the interaction of edaphic factors. Therefore in vitro study on cadmium toxicity in cotyledon and hypocotyl derived differentiating and non-differentiating stages of calli of Solanum melongena L. was conducted. In this study metabolism of proteins, amino acids, and different enzymes like Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), Nitrate reductase (NR), and Peroxidase activity was evaluated.
