This Research Topic aims to collect selected contributions from SOL2022, the International Conference 
XVII SOLANACEAE2022 on the Plant Family of Solanaceae, held in Thessaloniki, GREECE on November 1-5, 2022.
Solanaceae meetings comprise an international affiliation of researchers working on all aspects of the species 
Solanaceae. This includes studies spanning from cultivation to the improvement and maintenance of fruit quality.
We welcome manuscripts covering the following aspects of the species of 
Solanaceae research as discussed in this year’s conference:
•	Exploration of Biodiversity and Evolution
•	Metabolome Structure/Metabolomics
•	Genetics, Genomics, and Epigenetics
•	Molecular Breeding
•	Reproductive Growth-Development and Fruit Ripening
•	Vegetative Growth-Development
•	Genomics for Quality and Nutritional Traits
•	Abiotic and Biotic Stresses
•	Secondary Metabolism
•	Exploring Genomes, Transcriptomes, Proteomes, and Metabolomes to understand the 
Solanaceae Plant Function
•	
Solanaceae Biotechnology
•	Applied Aspects: Cultivation, Postharvest Physiology, and Handling
