Multiple Localization Analysis of the Major QTL-sfw 2.2 for Controlling Single Fruit Weight Traits in Melon Based on SLAF Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Cucumis melo is an annual dicotyledonous trailing herb. It is fruity, cool, and refreshing to eat and is widely loved by consumers worldwide. The single fruit weight is an important factor affecting the yield, and thus the income and economic benefits, of melon crops. In this study, to identify the main QTLs (quantitative trait locus) controlling the single fruit weight of melon and thereby identify candidate genes controlling this trait, specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF) analysis was performed on the offspring of female 1244 plants crossed with male MS-5 plants. A total of 115 individual plants in the melon F₂ population were analyzed to construct a genetic linkage map with a total map distance of 1383.88 cM by the group in the early stages of the proje
