| Frontiers
Abstract Capsaicinoids, the molecules responsible for pungency in pepper (Capsicum spp.), and their non-pungent analogs, capsinoids, are synthesized through the interaction of two distinct metabolic pathways: the branched chain fatty acid pathway and the phenylpropanoid pathway.

INTRODUCTION Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is, with potato, tomato, and pepper, one of the four most cultivated Solanaceous food crops, with a worldwide production exceeding 58.6 M tons in 2021 (FAO, 2022). About 17 700 eggplant accessions are currently listed in the Genesys worldwide catalog (https://www.genesys-pgr.org/) and maintained by dozens of genebanks.

Abstract Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is one of the four most important Solanaceous crops, widely cultivated and consumed in Asia, the Mediterranean basin, and Southeast Europe. We studied the Genome-wide association (GWA) of historical genebank phenotypic data on a genotyped worldwide collection of 3,449 eggplant accessions. Overall, 334 significant associations for key agronomic traits were detected.
