S. Aethiopicum has been used as a source of disease resistant promoting genes for S. Melongena, and had a 1.02 Gb draft genome assembled in 2019, more than 37,000 genes were annotated, of which almost 35,000 were found to code for proteins. These genes have an will continue to serve as a source of genes that can improve disease resistance and genetic diversity of more economically important varieties of S. Melongena, due to their ability to hybridize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
