This study uses CRISPR/Cas12a to engineer alleles of SmAPRR2 and SmGLK2 in eggplant, revealing their complementary roles in controlling chlorophyll pigmentation in fruit peel and flesh.

The paper evaluates a tomato MAGIC population to identify lines with improved nitrogen use efficiency under reduced nitrogen conditions.

The paper evaluates water stress tolerance in eggplant MAGIC lines, identifies genomic regions associated with stress traits, and develops a genomic selection index to predict stress tolerance.

The paper shows a neofunctionalized gene in Solanaceae plants became a flowering antagonist, influencing adaptation across species and environments.

This study identifies a genomic region on chromosome 10 associated with photosensitivity in eggplants and suggests SmNAC1-like gene involvement in anthocyanin biosynthesis.

This study benchmarks low-coverage sequencing workflows for eggplant genotyping, finding that 3X coverage with Freebayes achieves high genotypic concordance and sensitivity.

The paper develops a MAGIC population for eggplant, identifies a gene linked to root morphology, and shows its potential for trait mapping and breeding.

The paper investigates convergent evolution of plant prickles, finding that mutations in a cytokinin gene repeatedly cause prickle loss across species.

The paper develops a tomato MAGIC population to enhance genetic research and breeding by identifying trait-associated genes in wild relatives.

The paper identifies SmGLK2 as the gene controlling fruit green netting in eggplants, showing mutations that disrupt chlorophyll biosynthesis and contribute to fruit color diversity.

The paper identifies mutations in SmAPRR2 as key drivers of chlorophyll loss in eggplant fruit peel, revealing independent evolutionary origins of this trait.

The paper develops an eggplant MAGIC population to identify genes associated with anthocyanin pigmentation, finding strong associations with MYB113 and COP1 genes.
