Genome-wide identification of eQTL-associated lncRNAs in melon and their role in fruit cracking.

Abstract excerpt

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important crop whose production is severely affected by fruit cracking, a disorder that leads to substantial post-harvest losses. While environmental factors are known contributors, the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), SNPs, and eQTLs in melon cracking remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize these molecular regulators to elucidate their...
