Marker-assisted selection of Fusarium wilt-resistant and gynoecious melon (Cucumis melo L.)

P. Gao, Liu, S., Zhu, Q. L., and Luan, F. S., Marker-assisted selection of Fusarium wilt-resistant and gynoecious melon (Cucumis melo L.), vol. 14, pp. 16255-16264, 2015.

In this study, molecular markers were designed based on the sex determination genes ACS7 (A) and WIP1 (G) and the domain in the Fusarium oxysporum-resistant gene Fom-2 (F) in order to achieve selection of F. oxysporum-resistant gynoecious melon plants. Markers of A and F are cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences that distinguish alleles according to restriction analysis.
