Draft genome sequence of <i>Solanum aethiopicum</i> provides insights into disease resistance, drought tolerance, and the evolution of the genome

Abstract

The genome sequence of S. aethiopicum enhances our understanding of its biotic and abiotic resistance. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms identified are immediately available for use by breeders. The information provided here will accelerate selection and breeding of the African eggplant, as well as other crops within the Solanaceae family.
