Abstract excerpt

Red-fleshed watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) that accumulate lycopene in their flesh cells have been selected and domesticated from their pale-fleshed ancestors. However, the molecular basis of this trait remains poorly understood. Using map-based cloning and transgenic analysis, we identified a lycopene β-cyclase (ClLCYB) gene that controls the flesh color of watermelon. Down-regulation of ClLCYB caused the flesh...
