Genome-Wide Association Study for Agro-Morphological Traits in Eggplant Core Collection.

ABSTRACT: Eggplant is one of the most economically and nutritionally important vegetables worldwide. The study of the association of phenotypic traits with genetic factors is vital for the rapid and efficient identification and selection of eggplant genetic resources for breeding purposes with desired traits. The eggplant resources (587) collected from different countries, including Korea, were used for establishing the core collection. A total of 288 accessions were selected from 587 Solanum accessions based on 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) markers together with 17 morphological traits. This core collection was further used to analyze the genetic associations of eggplant morphological variations. A large variation was found among the evaluated eggplant accessions for some agro-mo
