A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC, 2011-07-28)
Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over
the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ...
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 ...
Comparative transcriptional profiling analysis of developing melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit from climacteric and non-climacteric varieties
(BMC, 2015-06-09)
Background: In climacteric fruit-bearing species, the onset of fruit ripening is marked by a transient rise in
respiration rate and autocatalytic ethylene production, followed by rapid deterioration ...
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 ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
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 ...
