Genetic dissection of root-mediated yield heterosis in melon (Cucumis melo)

Asaf Dafna, Galil Tzuri, Elad Oren, ‎Tal Isaacson, Ilan Halperin, Gadi Peleg, Amit Gur

This study genetically dissects root-mediated yield heterosis in melon using a segregating population, identifying QTLs and demonstrating their potential for yield improvement through allele pyramiding.
