Genetic Study of Rock Melon (Cucumis Melo L. Var. Cantalupensis ): Fruit Variability in Segregating Populations and After Selfing Performance
MARVELDANI
Abstract:Rock melon (Cucumis melo L. var. Cantalupensis) is a commercial-type melon with a wide distribution worldwide. Rock melons with larger fruit sizes are more in demand in restaurants, the food processing industry, and large families. In breeding for larger fruits, the increased genetic variability through introgression and recombination is the main factor; then, it can continue to purify before becoming a parental line. The presented study sought to recognize the variability of the open-pollinated population and… Show more
