Generation means analysis of plant architectural traits and fruit yield in melon

Unique architectural phenotypes have the potential for increasing yield in commercial melon (Cucumis melo L.). Therefore, a generation means analysis was conducted to investigate the inheritance of architectural traits (days to anthesis, primary branch number, fruit number and weight, and average we...

Zusammenfassung:	Unique architectural phenotypes have the potential for increasing yield in commercial melon (Cucumis melo L.). Therefore, a generation means analysis was conducted to investigate the inheritance of architectural traits (days to anthesis, primary branch number, fruit number and weight, and average weight per fruit). Progeny (F₁, F₂, BC₁P₁ and BC₁P₂) from a cross between US Department of Agriculture (USDA) line, USDA 846-1 (P₁) and 'TopMark' (P₂) were evaluated at Arlington (AR) and Hancock (HCK), Wisconsin in 2001.
