Novel approaches to wild Solanaceae domestication: morphological diversity, biochemical composition, genetic transformation and gene editing
Synopsis
This monograph presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in biotechnology, genetic transformation, and gene editing across 51 wild and semidomesticated species within the Solanaceae family. While these species are currently utilized in food, ethnomedicine, and various local applications, they have yet to achieve broad global cultivation. A detailed examination was conducted on each species' potential for callus induction, shoot regeneration, genetic transformation and gene editing.
In addition to the technical data, the review provides information on each species’geographical distribution, morphological characteristics (with representative photographs of flowers, whole plants, and fruits), ways of traditional uses, and reported medicinal properties.
