Genetic analysis and QTL mapping of yield and fruit traits in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.)

Abstract Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical parts of the world. In this study, a high-density linkage map of M. charantia was constructed through genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology using F2:3 mapping population generated from th...
