- Melon is a diverse diploid plant with different types that affect fruit firmness, a key trait for transportation and shelf life.* -
- Research generated over 13,000 SNP markers to investigate genetic variation and population structure among melon types, revealing significant introgression and haplotypes.* -
- The study identified important QTLs for fruit firmness using advanced mapping techniques, linking specific SNPs to genes related to fruit ripening and softening.*
