A unique chromosome translocation disrupting ClWIP1 leads to gynoecy in watermelon
To understand sex determination in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), a spontaneous gynoecious watermelon mutant, XHBGM, was selected from the monoecious wild type XHB. By map-based cloning, resequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, a unique chromosome translocation between chromosome 2 and chromosome 3 was found to control watermelon gynoecy.
