Development of SNP Markers for White Immature Fruit Skin Color in Cucumber (<i>Cucumis sativus</i> L.) Using QTL-seq and Marker Analyses

Despite various efforts in identifying the genes governing the white immature fruit skin color in cucumber, the genetic basis of the white immature fruit skin color is not well known. In the present study, genetic analysis showed that a recessive gene confers the white immature fruit skin-color phen...
