“…In this project, 25 different eggplants including domestic and foreign origin"s genotypes, some pure lines and wild genotypes have been tested. The findings showed that some of the genotypes in the cultivars tested, both wild and cultivar forms, were found to be resistant (Boyaci et al, 2012). The reactions of 15 different genotypes having some resistance and the susceptible eggplants with 12 different isolates of Fusarium were tested in order to identify genotype x isolate interactions.…”

“…Among the eggplant wild relatives, S. aethiopicum, S. linnaeanum, S. sisymbriifolium, S. aculeatissimum, and S. torvum represent major sources of disease resistance, including resistance to Verticillium wilt, one of the most devastating fungal diseases of eggplant (Plazas et al, 2016). Resistance to other diseases and pests of eggplant, including bacterial wilt (Xi'ou et al, 2015), Ralstonia (Lebeau et al, 2011), Fusarium wilt (Boyaci et al, 2012), leafhoppers, aphids, and eggplant root and shoot borer (Rotino et al, 1997), has also been identified in other wild relatives. S. insanum and S. incanum exhibit drought tolerance (Ranil et al, 2017) and S. incanum also possess certain phenolics in the fruit which are absent in the cultivated eggplant (Ma et al, 2011).…”

Vegetables are an integral part of the human diet worldwide. Traditional breeding approaches have been used extensively to develop new cultivars of vegetables with desirable characteristics, including resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, high yield, and an elevated content of compounds beneficial to human health. The technological progress since the early 1980s has revolutionized our ability to study and manipulate genetic variation in crop plants. The development of high-throughput sequencing platforms and accompanying analytical methods have led to sequencing and assembly of a large number of plant genomes, construction of dense and ultra-dense molecular linkage maps, identification of structural variants, and application of molecular markers in breeding programs. Linkage mapping and genome-wide association mapping studies have been used to identify chromosomal locations of genes and QTLs associated with plant phenotypic variations important for crop improvement. This review provides up-to-date information on the status of genomics and marker-assisted improvement of vegetable crops with the focus on tomato, pepper, eggplant, lettuce, spinach, cucumber, and chicory. For each vegetable crop, we present the most recent information on genetic resources, mapping populations, genetic maps, genome sequences, mapped genes and QTLs, the status of marker-assisted selection and genomic selection, and discuss future research prospects and application of novel techniques and approaches.

“…Some studies aimed to characterize the eggplant defense responses and signaling pathways activated upon Fom infection, as well as identifying loci, QTLs and genes involved in the resistance to fungal wilts, have been carried out [ 18 ]. From a cross with an Asian accession [ 16 ], eggplant breeding lines resistant to Fom were developed and characterized by different molecular markers associated with the resistance trait [ 19 ], which therefore proved to be useful in assisting breeding through MAS [ 31 , 32 ]. Toppino et al (30) demonstrated that the Fom resistance trait introgressed into eggplant from protoplast somatic hybridization with S. aethiopicum and S. integrifolium is controlled by a single dominant locus (named Rfo-sa1 ) and developed codominant molecular markers associated with the resistant and/or the susceptible phenotype through a Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) [ 33 ].…”

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), similar to many other crops, suffers from soil-borne diseases, including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (Fom), causing wilting and heavy yield loss. To date, the genetic factors underlying plant responses to Fom are not well known. We previously developed a Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) population using as a female parent the fully resistant line ‘305E40’ and as a male parent the partially resistant line ‘67/3’. The fully resistant trait to Fom was introgressed from the allied species S. aethiopicum. In this work, the RIL population was assessed for the responses to Fom and by using a genomic mapping approach, two major QTLs on chromosomes CH02 and CH11 were identified, associated with the full and partial resistance trait to Fom, respectively. A targeted BSAseq procedure in which Illumina reads bulks of RILs grouped according to their resistance score was aligned to the appropriate reference genomes highlighted differentially enriched regions between resistant/susceptible progeny in the genomic regions underlying both QTLs. The characterization of such regions allowed us to identify the most reliable candidate genes for the two resistance traits. With the aim of revealing exclusive species-specific contigs and scaffolds inherited from the allied species and thus associated with the full resistance trait, a draft de-novo assembly of available Illumina sequences of the ‘305E40′ parent was developed to better resolve the non-recombining genomic region on its CH02 carrying the introgressed Fom resistance locus from S. aethiopicum.
