"Draft genome sequence of Solanum aethiopicum provides insights into disease resistance, drought tolerance, and the evolution of the genome"^^ . "The African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum) is a nutritious traditional vegetable used in many African countries,\r\nincluding Uganda and Nigeria. It is thought to have been domesticated in Africa from its wild relative, Solanum anguivi. S.aethiopicum has been routinely used as a source of disease resistance genes for several Solanaceae crops, including Solanum\r\nmelongena. A lack of genomic resources has meant that breeding of S. aethiopicum has lagged behind other vegetable crops.\r\nResults: We assembled a 1.02-Gb draft genome of S. aethiopicum, which contained predominantly repetitive sequences\r\n(78.9%). We annotated 37,681 gene models, including 34,906 protein-coding genes. Expansion of disease resistance genes\r\nwas observed via 2 rounds of amplification of long terminal repeat retrotransposons, which may have occurred ∼1.25 and\r\n3.5 million years ago, respectively. By resequencing 65 S. aethiopicum and S. anguivi genotypes, 18,614,838 single-nucleotide\r\npolymorphisms were identified, of which 34,171 were located within disease resistance genes. Analysis of domestication\r\nand demographic history revealed active selection for genes involved in drought tolerance in both “Gilo” and “Shum”\r\ngroups. A pan-genome of S. aethiopicum was assembled, containing 51,351 protein-coding genes; 7,069 of these genes were\r\nmissing from the reference genome. Conclusions: The genome sequence of S. aethiopicum enhances our understanding of\r\nits biotic and abiotic resistance. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms identified are immediately available for use by\r\nbreeders. The information provided here will accelerate selection and breeding of the African eggplant, as well as other\r\ncrops within the Solanaceae family."^^ . "2019-10" . . . "8" . "10" . .
