Abstract
The next-generation sequencing revolution is allowing the whole-genome resequencing (WGRS) of hundreds or even thousands of accessions for staple crops and model species. With the release of their reference genome, progressively also other plants, species are undertaking WGRS projects for a broad variety of studies. In common eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), although a first draft of the reference genome sequence has been published, no resequencing studies have been performed so far. In this chapter, we present the first results of the resequencing of eight accessions, seven of common eggplant and one of the wild relative S. incanum L., that correspond to the parents of a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population that is currently under development using the newly developed eggplant genome sequence presented in Chap. 7 of this book. Over ten million polymorphisms were identified among the accessions, 90% of them in the wild related S. incanum, confirming the genetic erosion of the cultivated common eggplant. Among the MAGIC population parents, the common polymorphism distribution pattern along the chromosomes has revealed possible footprints of ancestral introgression from interspecific crosses. The set of polymorphisms has been extensively annotated and currently is being used for further analyses in order to efficiently genotype the ongoing MAGIC population and to dissect important agronomic and morphological traits. The information provided in this first resequencing study in eggplant will be extremely helpful to assist plant breeding to develop new improved and resilient varieties to face future threats and challenges.
