Abstract excerpt
Two populations [an F(2) and a set of 77 double haploid lines (DHLs)] developed from a cross between a 'Piel de Sapo' cultivar (PS) and the exotic Korean accession PI 161375 were used to detect QTLs involved in melon fruit quality traits: earliness (EA), fruit shape (FS), fruit weight (FW) and sugar content (SSC); and loci involved in the colour traits: external colour (ECOL) and flesh colour (FC).
