Public description (Provide a description of the study goals and relevance)
The goal of this study was to identify the major QTL that associated with powdery mildew resistance in melon. The novel QTL and candidate gene identified from this study provide insights into the genetic mechanism of PM resistance in melon, and the tightly linked KASP markers developed in this research can be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to improve powdery mildew resistance in melon breeding programs.
