Harnessing the crop wild relatives in genetic improvement of eggplant, potato and tomato

2025-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The genus Solanum encompasses economically significant crops, including tomato, potato and eggplant. Descending the taxonomic hierarchy from family to genus, species, subspecies, and variety is associated with a decrease in genetic diversity and an increase in homozygosity. Likewise, prolonged selection of plants favouring yield traits over many generations has narrowed the genetic variation within cultivars; this...
