A novel introgression line collection to unravel the genetics of climacteric ripening and fruit quality in melon

Abstract Introgression lines are valuable germplasm for scientists and breeders, since they ease genetic studies such as QTL interactions and positional cloning as well as the introduction of favorable alleles into elite varieties. We developed a novel introgression line collection in melon using tw...
