Fruit Composition of Eggplant Lines with Introgressions from the Wild Relative S. incanum: Interest for Breeding and Safety for Consumption

Elena Rosa-Martinez et al.

Summary: The wild species Solanum incanum has been used in breeding eggplant introgression lines with potential for stress tolerance and fruit quality. Evaluation of fruit composition traits showed that the introgression lines produced fruits with safe levels of glycoalkaloids and similar nutritional quality to the recipient parent. Additionally, potential candidate genes were identified for several traits, providing new information for eggplant breeding.

Current Perspectives on Introgression Breeding in Food Legumes

Aditya Pratap et al.

Summary: Breeding efforts in food legumes have been focused on exploiting genetic variation within the primary genepool, resulting in a narrow genetic base. Introgression from crop wild relatives, landraces, and exotic germplasm has been successful in widening the genetic base and discovering hidden variability. This method has led to the development of improved cultivars in various food legume crops, indicating the potential to capitalize on genetic variation for commercial development.

Transcriptomics reveal new insights into molecular regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in Solanum melongena

Antonio Mauceri et al.

Summary: Through transcriptomic analysis, key genes related to nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in eggplant were identified, such as WRKY33, which can improve both nitrogen uptake and utilization efficiency. Experimental validation and Arabidopsis transgenic studies confirmed the pivotal role of WRKY33 in NUE improvement.

Improved genome assembly and pan-genome provide key insights into eggplant domestication and breeding

Lorenzo Barchi et al.

Summary: Eggplant is an important horticultural crop with a wide genetic diversity. A study on the eggplant pan-genome revealed additional genes compared to the reference genome, with selective sweeps related to fruit color, prickliness, and fruit shape driving the evolution from wild ancestors to present-day cultivars. Candidate genes underlying these selective sweeps were identified, suggesting a common set of orthologous genes in tomato and eggplant for fruit size and shape traits.

Fruit shape morphometric analysis and QTL detection in a set of eggplant introgression lines

Giulio Mangino et al.

Summary: Through evaluating the fruit shape of 16 eggplant introgression lines (ILs), significant differences were found between the parents, hybrid, and ILs, with genotype factor contributing most to fruit shape variation. A total of 41 stable QTLs were detected, providing insights into the genetics of fruit shape in eggplant.

Variation for Composition and Quality in a Collection of the Resilient Mediterranean 'de penjar' Long Shelf-Life Tomato Under High and Low N Fertilization Levels

Elena Rosa-Martinez et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the nutritional fruit composition of 44 'de penjar' tomato varieties under high and low N treatments, revealing significant variation in fruit composition traits and higher values for certain traits under low N treatment with significant genotype x N input interaction. The results suggest the potential of 'de penjar' varieties as a genetic resource for breeding high-quality tomatoes under low N conditions.

Evaluation of Advanced Backcrosses of Eggplant with Solanum elaeagnifolium Introgressions under Low N Conditions

Gloria Villanueva et al.

Summary: Breeding eggplant materials with good performance under low nitrogen inputs is crucial in reducing environmental degradation, health risks, and production costs. Introgression breeding with Solanum elaeagnifolium in eggplant can result in individuals with higher yield, nitrogen use efficiency, and phenolics content compared to the S. melongena parent. Lower proportions of S. elaeagnifolium genome introgressed in the advanced backcrosses led to higher phenotypic resemblance to S. melongena, showing potential for developing improved eggplant varieties for sustainable agriculture.

Light regulation of horticultural crop nutrient uptake and utilization

Jin Xu et al.

Summary: Plants exhibit dynamic changes in molecular structures under fluctuating light conditions, with light playing a crucial role in plant growth and morphogenesis. Although there have been advances in understanding the mechanism of nutrient acquisition and assimilation, the impact of light on ion uptake remains a question. Studies on model plants indicate that light affects nutrient utilization in roots through a complex regulatory network, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of light on these processes in crop plants are still incomplete. In this review, the effects of light on nutrient uptake and utilization in horticultural crops are discussed for the purpose of optimizing crop productivity and increasing fertilizer efficiency.
