We also analyzed 218 traits (agronomic, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, fruit metabolic composition) scored in 3 field trials, in Spain, Italy and Türkiye among them i) prickliness.

where we could pinpoint an interesting LOG translocation.

The “core” genome of eggplant was found to consist of around 16,300 gene families, (present in all varieties) while around 4,000 gene families were “dispensable” (i.e. they were present in only one or few varieties).

We then focused on 368 varieties, representative of the worldwide phenotypic and genetic diversity of eggplant and comprising its wild progenitors, Solanum incanum and Solanum insanum. We constructed a graphical pangenome…

This led to the observation that for instance, the varieties coming from India and South-East Asia have retained the non-purple skin colour and the spiny leaves characteristic of their wild ancestors, while these traits were progressively lost in the other geographical areas.

We had started from a large worldwide collection of 3,400 eggplant varieties and wild progenitors and used it to reconstruct its domestication history in India and South-East Asia, and its later expansion doi.org/10.1111/tpj..... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very nice that sounds really cool! Congrats

This is "bulk tissue" classical RNAseq only, so it is a plus (but not strictly necessary) to be familiar RNA extraction from plant tissues. Analysis is easy to learn and we teach this often.
