A Genomic BSAseq Approach for the Characterization of QTLs Underlying Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum in Eggplant.

ABSTRACT: Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), similar to many other crops, suffers from soil-borne diseases, including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae (Fom), causing wilting and heavy yield loss. To date, the genetic factors underlying plant responses to Fom are not well known. We previously developed a Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) population using as a female parent the fully resistant line '305E40' and as a male parent the partially resistant line '67/3'. The fully resistant trait to Fom was introgressed from the allied species S. aethiopicum. In this work, the RIL population was assessed for the responses to Fom and by using a genomic mapping approach, two major QTLs on chromosomes CH02 and CH11 were identified, associated with the full
