“…In fact, melons constitute an important component of fruit and vegetable production in China [ 1 ]. Melon quality is determined by various characteristics [ 2 ]; for instance, melon is popular for its sweet taste, pleasant flavor, and high nutritional value [ 3 ]. The sensory quality of melon fruit depends largely on its soluble solid content (SSC) and its volatile aromatic components.…”

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important horticultural cash crop and its quality traits directly affect consumer choice and market price. These traits are controlled by genetic as well as environmental factors. In this study, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping strategy was used to identify the potential genetic loci controlling quality traits of melons (i.e., exocarp and pericarp firmness and soluble solid content) based on newly derived whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism-based cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (SNP-CAPS) markers. Specifically, SNPs of two melon varieties, M4-5 and M1-15, as revealed by whole-genome sequencing, were converted to the CAPS markers, which were used to construct a genetic linkage map comprising 12 chromosomes with a total length of 1414.88 cM, in the F2 population of M4-5 and M1-15. The six identified QTLs included: SSC6.1 and SSC11.1 related to soluble solid content; EF12.1 associated with exocarp firmness; and EPF3.1, EPF3.2 and EPF7.1 related to edible pericarp firmness. These genes were located on five chromosomes (3, 6, 7, 11, and 12) in the flanking regions of the CAPS markers. Moreover, the newly developed CAPS markers will be useful in guiding genetic engineering and molecular breeding in melon.
