Abstract:IntroductionFlesh color is an essential trait in chieh-qua (Benincasa hispida Cogn. var. Chieh-qua How); however, the inheritance and molecular basis of green flesh trait remain unclear.MethodsIn the present study, two F2 populations, derived from 1742 (white flesh) × FJ3211 (green flesh) and J16 (white flesh) × FJ5 (green flesh), were used to identify the green flesh (Cqgf) locus.ResultsGenetic analysis revealed that the presence of green flesh was a quantitative trait that closely followed a normal distribut… Show more
