Construction of a SNP-Based Genetic Map Using SLAF-Seq and QTL Analysis of Morphological Traits in Eggplant.

ABSTRACT: Eggplant (Solanum melongena; 2n = 24) is an economically important fruit crop of the family Solanaceae that was domesticated in India and Southeast Asia. Construction of a high-resolution genetic map and map-based gene mining in eggplant have lagged behind other crops within the family such as tomato and potato. In this study, we conducted high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery in the eggplant genome using specific length amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing and constructed a high-density genetic map for the quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of multiple traits. An interspecific F₂ population of 121 individuals was developed from the cross between cultivated eggplant "1836" and the wild relative S. linnaeanum "1809." Genomic DNA
