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 ...
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) ...
cmv1-Mediated Resistance to CMV in Melon Can Be Overcome by Mixed Infections with Potyviruses
(MDPI, 2023-08-23)
Resistance to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strain LS in melon is controlled by the gene cmv1, which restricts phloem entry. In nature, CMV is commonly found in mixed infections, particularly with ...
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 ...
The ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF024 is a novel regulator of climacteric fruit ripening in melon
(Wiley, 2024-06-20)
Fruit ripening is an essential developmental stage in Angiosperms triggered by hormonal signals such as
ethylene, a major player in climacteric ripening. Melon is a unique crop showing both climacteric ...
Natural resistances to viruses in cucurbits
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Cucurbit viruses cause considerable economic losses worldwide. The most common viral diseases affecting this crop family are Potyviruses, Cucumoviruses, Criniviruses, Ipomoviruses, Tobamoviruses, and ...
Genetic dissection of climacteric fruit ripening in a melon population segregating for ripening behavior
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Melon is as an alternative model to understand fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties within the same species, allowing the study of the processes that regulate ...
