A Point Mutation of the Alpha-Tubulin Gene <i>ClTUA</i> Causes Dominant Dwarf Phenotype in Watermelon (<i>Citrullus lanatus</i>)

Vine length is a crucial plant architecture trait in watermelon, which determines its height. In this study, we identified a dominant dwarf watermelon mutant by treating G42 with Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). In order to clarify the causes of the dwarfism in mutants, genetic statistics, phenotypic o...
