Solanales is an order of flowering plants known for its wide ecological range and major contributions to global agriculture. The group includes herbs, shrubs, and small trees, many of which thrive in temperate to tropical climates. Its members often have tubular flowers, simple leaves, and a variety of fruit types—ranging from berries to capsules—adapted for diverse environments and dispersal mechanisms.
Many species in Solanales are essential food, ornamental, and medicinal plants. One of the most economically important examples is the potato (Solanum tuberosum), a staple crop cultivated worldwide for its starchy underground tubers. As a dietary cornerstone, it plays a critical role in global food systems and culinary traditions across continents.
