Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Within a QTL, the genetic recombination and interactions among five and two functional variations at MdbHLH25 and MdWDR5A caused much complicated phenotype segregation in apple FFR and FCR. The storability of climacteric fruit like apple is a quantitative trait. We previously identified 62 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associating flesh firmness retainability (FFR) and flesh crispness retainability...
