On the genetic control of heterosis for fruit shape in melon (Cucumis melo L.).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Fernández-Silva Iria, Moreno Eduard, Eduardo Iban, Arús Pere, Alvarez Jose M, Monforte Antonio J

Abstract excerpt

The objective of the present work is to study the genetic basis of heterosis for fruit shape (FS) in melon observed in a cross between the Spanish cultivar "Piel de Sapo" (PS) and the Korean accession PI 161375 (Songwang Charmi [SC]) using a set of near-isogenic lines (NILs) with contrasting phenotypes for FS, each carrying a single chromosomal introgression from SC within the genetic background of PS. We...
