As large-scale genomic studies have progressed, it has been revealed that a single
reference genome pattern cannot represent genetic diversity at the species level. While …

Horticultural crops mainly include fruits, vegetables, ornamental trees and flowers, and tea
trees (Melaleuca alternifolia). They produce a variety of nutrients for the daily human diet in …

Hybrid potato breeding will transform the crop from a clonally propagated tetraploid to a
seed-reproducing diploid. Historical accumulation of deleterious mutations in potato …

Anthocyanins are important pigments that impart color in plants. In Solanum, different
species display various fruit or flower colors due to varying degrees of anthocyanin …

Tremendous plant metabolic diversity arises from phylogenetically restricted specialized
metabolic pathways. Specialized metabolites are synthesized in dedicated cells or tissues …

The availability of multiple sequenced genomes from a single species made it possible to
explore intra-and inter-specific genomic comparisons at higher resolution and build clade …

Pan-genomics is an emerging approach for studying the genetic diversity within plant
populations. In contrast to common resequencing studies that compare whole genome …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a major vegetable crop with great potential for genetic
improvement owing to its large and mostly untapped genetic diversity. It is closely related to …

The prickly nightshade Solanum rostratum, an annual malignant weed, is native to North
America and has globally invaded 34 countries, causing serious threats to ecosystems …

Understanding the mechanisms by which chlorophylls are synthesized in the eggplant
(Solanum melongena) fruit peel is of great relevance for eggplant breeding. A multi-parent …
