Katherine Sandlin,Jason Prothro,Adam Heesacker,Adam Heesacker,Nelly Khalilian,Rebecca A Okashah,Wenwen Xiang,Eleni Bachlava,David Caldwell,Christopher A Taylor,Christopher A Taylor,Danelle K. Seymour,Danelle K. Seymour,Victoria White,Eva K. F. Chan,Greg Tolla,Cathy White,Dolores Safran,Elaine Graham,Steven J. Knapp,Steven J. Knapp,Cecilia McGregor +21 more
TL;DR: The present study reports the first SNP maps for Citrullus and the first map constructed using two elite parents, as well as the first stable QTL associated with fruit size and shape in Citrillus lanatus.

Mapping of the Egusi Seed Trait Locus (eg) and Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Seed Oil Percentage in Watermelon
Jason Prothro,Katherine Sandlin,Rattandeep Gill,Eleni Bachlava,Victoria White,Steven J. Knapp,Cecilia McGregor +6 more
TL;DR: The present study reports the location of the eg locus responsible for the egusi seed trait in watermelon on LG 2 as well as M-QTL and E-ZTL associated with SOP, and a significant epistatic interaction between, the eglocus and an M- QTL on LG 9B.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a set of unique watermelon plants with a desired seed size phenotype and their progeny, such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with the desired seed-size phenotype.

- 04 Dec 2013
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a set of unique watermelon plants with a desired sex expression phenotype and their progeny, such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with the desired phenotype, and compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm having a desired phenotype.
