[EN] Melon (Cucumis melo) is one of the principal vegetable crops for fresh market, for which a large number of
breeding programs, oriented to generate inbred pure lines and hybrids, is established worldwide. The process ...
[EN] Hybridization between Cucumis species, including cultivated melon (C. melo), is hampered by Interspecific Reproductive Barriers (IRBs). However, the nature of IRBs in Cucumis is largely unknown. This study explores ...
Background: The reproductive phenology of perennial plants in temperate climates is largely conditioned by the duration of bud dormancy, and fruit developmental processes. Bud dormancy release and bud break depends on the ...

[EN] Fruits represent an important part of the human diet and show extensive variation in size and shape between and
within cultivated species. The genetic basis of such variation has been studied most extensively in ...
Background: The improvement of fruit aroma is currently one of the most sought-after objectives in peach breeding programs. To better characterize and assess the genetic potential for increasing aroma quality by breeding, ...
[EN] Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a major crop plant and a model system for fruit development. Solanum is one of the largest angiosperm genera(1) and includes annual and perennial plants from diverse habitats. Here we ...

[EN] The study of plant phenotypic plasticity complements our knowledge of plant response to stresses obtained from controlled single and multiple stress experiments. Diouf et al. (2020) dissect the genetic control of ...
Background
The availability of genetic and genomic resources for melon has increased significantly, but functional genomics resources are still limited for this crop. TILLING is a powerful reverse genetics approach that ...
