Genome-wide analysis of the aquaporin genes in melon (Cucumis melo L.)

Abstract Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a very important crop throughout the world and has great economic importance, in part due to its nutritional properties. It prefers well-drained soil with low acidity and has a strong demand for water during fruit set. Therefore, a correct water balance—involving...
