Malnutrition, comprising undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and overnutrition, is more
widespread than hunger per se and affects most nations around the globe. The diversity and …

Plants are a rich source of specialized metabolites with a broad range of bioactivities and
many applications in human daily life. Over the past decades significant progress has been …

Vegetables are an integral part of the human diet worldwide. Traditional breeding

Eggplant is an essential widespread year-round fruit vegetable. This study was conducted
using 130 local germplasm of brinjal to select diverse parents based on the multiple traits …

Multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations facilitate the genetic
dissection of complex quantitative traits in plants and are valuable breeding materials. We …

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 …

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 …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) has been described as moderately sensitive to salinity. We
characterised the responses to salt stress of eggplant and S. insanum, its putative wild …

Whole-genome resequencing provides information of great relevance for crop genetics,
evolution, and breeding. Here, we present the first whole-genome resequencing study using …

Wild relatives of eggplant (Solanum melongena) are of interest for breeding for tolerance to
drought. To assess the potential of eggplant wild relatives from different gene pools, 18 …
