Abstract excerpt
Dwarf architecture is an important trait associated with plant yield, lodging resistance and labor cost. Here, we aimed to identify a gene causing dwarfism in watermelon. The 'w106' (dwarf) and 'Charleston Gray' (vine) were used as parents to construct F1 and F2 progeny. Dwarf architecture of 'w106' was mainly caused by longitudinal cell length reduction and was controlled by a single recessive gene. Whole-genome...
