G2P-SOL project: SPET genotyping of eggplant
G2P-SOL aims at bringing into full fruition the seeds from tens of thousands of genetic accessions of the four major Solanaceous food crops (potato, tomato, pepper and eggplant) that are stored in 'genebanks' worldwide.Understanding and utilising this genetic diversity is key to the sustainability of agriculture in the face of a changing environment and the appearance of new pests. This is currently hampered by the scarce publicly available information on the variability of collections preserved in different genebanks. SPET-based genotyping of 3,499 accessions from 29 Solanum species stored in 7 international genebanks and research institutions
