Development and application of a 40K liquid chip enriched with structural variation markers for watermelon breeding
Abstract Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) has undergone severe loss of genetic diversity due to domestication, necessitating the exploitation of wild relatives for trait improvement. While structural variations (SVs) represent a major source of genetic diversity, high-throughput SV genotyping remains technically challeng...
