Citrullus mucosospermus (egusi watermelon) and Citrullus lanatus (dessert watermelon) are closely related subspecies. Variation in their seed coats underlies a key to understand the major differences in seeds between these two subspecies. Although the genetic model is understood, the candidate genes controlling the egusi seed trait in watermelon are unknown. In this study, a locus that controls the...
As an important commodity trait in melons, the rind is the most direct standard of evaluation for consumers. In this study, we obtained an F2 melon population derived from self-crossing an F1 generation from a cross between X010 (green rind with stripes) and M1-113 (white rind without stripes) and performed genetic analysis and mapping. Genetic analysis revealed that a single dominant gene (st3) controlled...
Lycopene content is an important factor for determining watermelon fruit quality. However, the low DNA polymorphism among cultivated watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ) has hindered the ability to establish high quality genetic maps and study the quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling the lycopene content trait. In this study, we successfully constructed a genetic map of watermelon...
