This map is based on 58 F2 individuals from an interspecific cross between S. linnaeanum Hepper & Jaeger MM195 and S. melongena L. MM738, which was produced by Dr. M. C. Daunay at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, France. A map of 232 tomato-derived markers based on the same population was reported in SGN (Eggplant-LXM 2002). However, the current map has an additional set of 110 COSII markers and 5 tomato-derived markers, and the framework is predominantly based on the COSII markers. This eggplant-COSII map permits inference of a detailed syntenic relationship between the eggplant and tomato genomes and thus will advance the study of genome evolution in the family Solanaceae. The high-resolution synteny map will also provide a platform for cross-reference of genetic and genomic information between eggplant and tomato (including the tomato genome sequence), and facilitate both applied and basic research in eggplant.
