Fine mapping and candidate genes analysis for flesh thickness major locus Cmqft4.1 of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
Abstract Flesh thickness (FT) is the edible portion of melon fruit and directly affects its utilization rate, with an important influence on commerciality and yield. In this study, the phenotype of F2 populations derived from PI 282448 (thin-fleshed, ssp. melo, wild type) and M4-135 (thick-fleshed, ssp. melo, cultivar)...
