The paper classifies melon accessions into seed types and genetic populations, revealing polyphyletic domestication and hybridization that increased genetic diversity, with distinct geographic origins.

This study uses genotyping-by-sequencing to analyze 723 cucumber accessions, revealing multiple dispersal routes to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The paper proposes a cost-effective genetic mapping strategy for autopolyploids using low-coverage NGS data and allele dosage probabilities to detect loci associated with phenotypes.
