Assembly and annotation of Solanum dulcamara and Solanum nigrum plant genomes, two nightshades with contrasting susceptibilities to Ralstonia solanacearum.

ABSTRACT: To understand why close wild plant relatives of crops, such as Solanum dulcamara, are resistant to Ralstonia solanacearum we need genome resources to perform comparative studies and identify key genes and pathways. We de-novo assembled and annotated the genome of a resistant/tolerant S. dulcamara and susceptible Solanum nigrum plant using a hybrid approach including Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina sequencing. Comparative genomic analysis was then performed to find differences between the genome of S. dulcamara and other susceptible Solanaceous species including potato, tomato, aubergine, and S. nigrum and one susceptible and one resistant S. americanum accession. We identified genes associated with auxin-transport only in S. dulcamara and a collection of pattern recognition recep
