TL;DR: In this paper , the major findings from these investigations and future perspectives in melon-breeding programs are reported, including genome editing, improvement of the melon genome assembly, identification, and molecular mapping of important genes or quantitative trait loci for disease resistance and fruit-quality traits.
Abstract: AbstractMelon (Cucumis melo L.), belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, is an economically important vegetable crop cultivated worldwide and highly valued for its fruit quality. Unfortunately, this crop is affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses that reduce yield and quality considerably. Melon breeding for fruit quality and disease resistance gained great achievements through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. During the last decade, a rapid and huge development of genetic and genomics resources was achieved including draft genome assemblies, and high-density genetic maps, making it possible to accelerate translational research for melon breeding. The increasing availability of high-throughput sequencing technology has the potential to develop innovative genome-based strategies for the identification of loci involved in fruit quality and disease resistance. Advancements in genomics provide new opportunities to accelerate classical breeding programs. We report here the major findings from these investigations and future perspectives in melon-breeding programs. Genomic tools used including genome editing, improvement of the melon genome assembly, identification, and molecular mapping of important genes or quantitative trait loci for disease resistance and fruit-quality traits are summarized, and the use of such knowledge in melon breeding is reported.KeywordsGenomic toolsGenome assemblyMelonMolecular mappingMarker-assisted selectionReference genomeDoubled haploids

TL;DR: In this article, a wheat spikelet number QTL linked SNP molecular marker and application thereof is disclosed. But the application of this marker is limited to the detection of wheat spikelets in the short arm of a 2D chromosome.
Abstract: The invention discloses a wheat spikelet number QTL linked SNP molecular marker and application thereof. The SNP molecular marker KASP-1 is located on the short arm of a 2D chromosome of the RefSeqv1.0 genome version, and the 100 bp sequence before and after is shown as SEQ ID NO.46, the polymorphism is C/T and can be obtained by primer amplification shown in SEQ ID NO.1-3. The molecular marker can accurately track the wheat spikelet number QTL QSns.sau-2D.1 to predict the wheat spikelet number and facilitate molecular breeding. The invention also discloses a method for identifying the wheat spikelet number QTL QSns.sau-2D.1 molecular marker. By means of the method, the wheat spikelet number prediction accuracy can be enhanced, so as to quickly screen out wheat varieties or lines with increased spikelet number for breeding, and the breeding process of the wheat high yield varieties can be accelerated.
