Chromatographic analysis for free amino acids of brinjal (var. Pusa purple long, Kantimundi and Ghatikia white) infected with root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita under pot culture conditions revealed the presence of 6 free amino acids such as L-cysteine, L-serine, L-tryptophan, L-leucine ,L-isoleucine and L-tyrosine both in healthy and nematode inoculated samples of susceptible and resistant varieties. The rate of decrease of tryptophan was less in resistant varieties as compared to susceptible variety, Pusa purple long. The decrease of phenylalanine and tyrosine were more pronounced in resistant varieties during post infection period. Quantitative increased in most of the amino acids, observed in nematode infected samples except L-tryptophan, L- tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-methionine which were decreased to various extent as a result of nematode infection.
