Abstract excerpt
Domestication and improvement are two important stages in crop evolution. Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop with wide phenotypic diversity in many horticultural traits, especially fruit size, flesh thickness and aroma, which are likely the results of long-term extensive selection during its evolution. However, selective signals in domestication and improvement stages for these remarkable...
