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

Eggplant (; 2 = 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.
