Solanaceous crops include tomato, bell pepper and potato, among others, and together these crops represent a significant part of the agricultural production in the United States. This workshop/conference has targeted participants from academia, government and industry to bring to them the latest scientific developments that impact on the improvement of these crops and their productivity. The organizers aim to recruit faculty, professionals, postdoctoral associates and students from diverse institutions, and are particularly targeting students and postdocs from underrepresented groups. In addition to scientific sessions, the program includes sessions dedicated to career development for students and postdocs looking for a future in academia, industry or government.Unlike previous Solanaceae Conferences that addressed crop specific topics, this conference will focus on a range of topics that are applicable and relevant to all crops in this group. Topics included in this conference include genomics encompassing different genotypic technologies that can be used for taxonomic and assisted breeding purposes, epigenetics and characterization of the methylome. Other sessions include high-throughput phenotyping, and physiological and developmental studies of different organs that impact productivity, resistance to pathogens, and the analysis of metabolites that affect the nutrition and flavor characteristics of these commodities. Workshops included cover career development, pathogen strain identification, and the use or web resources like the Solanacea Genomics Network and iPlant/CyVerse.

茄科作物包括番茄、甜椒和土豆等，这些作物加在一起，是美国农业生产的重要组成部分。这次研讨会/会议的目标是来自学术界、政府和工业界的与会者，向他们介绍对这些作物的改良和生产力产生影响的最新科学发展。组织者的目标是从不同的机构招聘教师、专业人员、博士后助理和学生，并特别针对来自代表性不足群体的学生和博士后。除了科学会议，该计划还包括专门为在学术界、工业或政府寻找未来的学生和博士后提供职业发展的会议。与以前讨论作物特定主题的茄科会议不同，本次会议将集中讨论一系列适用于和与这一组中的所有作物相关的主题。这次会议的主题包括基因组学，包括可用于分类学和辅助育种目的的不同基因类型技术、表观遗传学和甲基组的特征。其他会议包括高通量表型鉴定，影响生产率的不同器官的生理和发育研究，对病原体的抵抗力，以及影响这些商品的营养和风味特征的代谢物分析。讲习班包括职业发展、病原菌菌株鉴定以及茄科植物基因组学网络和iPLANT/CyVerse等网络资源的使用。
