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.

This study identifies a recessive mutation in a TCP gene that causes multiple-flowering in summer squash, enhancing yield through increased flower production per leaf axil.

The paper constructs a melon pan-genome and integrates it with a multi-parental framework to enable high-resolution trait dissection in melon.
