QTLs and candidate genes analyses for fruit size under domestication and differentiation in melon (Cucumis melo L.) based on high resolution maps
(BMC, 2021-03-03)
Background: Melon is a very important horticultural crop produced worldwide with high phenotypic diversity. Fruit size is among the most important domestication and differentiation traits in melon. The ...
A novel introgression line collection to unravel the genetics of climacteric ripening and fruit quality in melon
(Nature Research, 2021-05-31)
Introgression lines are valuable germplasm for scientists and breeders, since they ease genetic studies such as QTL interactions and positional cloning as well as the introduction of favorable alleles ...
Editorial: Translational research for cucurbit molecular breeding: Traits, markers, and genes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-30)
Cucurbits (family Cucurbitaceae) are economically important vegetable crops. Major cucurbits growing globally include cucumber, melon, watermelon, and squash/pumpkin. Other cucurbits like bitter melon, ...
A domestication-associated gene, CsLH, encodes a phytochrome B protein that regulates hypocotyl elongation in cucumber
(Springer, 2021-06-16)
Plant height is an important agronomic trait; tall plants are prone to collapse (lodging) and are unsuitable for high-density planting (Li et al., 2020). During the Green Revolution, a multitude of genes ...
Genetic dissection of aroma biosynthesis in melon and its relationship with climacteric ripening
(Elsevier, 2021-03-05)
Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing uncovers the roles of CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 1 and REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 in melon fruit ripening and epigenetic regulation
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04-08)
Melon (Cucumis melo) has emerged as an alternative model to tomato for studying fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties. Previous characterization of a major ...
Modulating climacteric intensity in melon through QTL stacking
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-03)
Fruit ripening is one of the main processes affecting fruit quality and shelf life. In melon there are both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes, making it a suitable species to study fruit ripening. ...
Fruit Morphology and Ripening-Related QTLs in a Newly Developed Introgression Line Collection of the Elite Varieties ‘Védrantais’ and ‘Piel de Sapo’
(MDPI, 2022-11-15)
Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species suitable to study the ...
Genetic regulation of volatile production in two melon introgression line collections with contrasting ripening behavior
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-16)
The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits contain ...
Knock-Out of CmNAC-NOR Affects Melon Climacteric Fruit Ripening
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-10)
Fruit ripening is an important process that affects fruit quality. A QTL in melon, ETHQV6.3, involved in climacteric ripening regulation, has been found to be encoded by CmNAC-NOR, a homologue of the ...
