Abstract excerpt
Rind thickness (RT) is an important agronomic trait in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf.] and affects watermelon storability. However, genetic studies on this trait, as well as gene regulation studies, are scarce and of limited production significance. We constructed a temporary F2 generation using the highly differentiated thick-rind watermelon 'XiaoXiGua-4' and the thin-rind watermelon 'DuanMan' as...
