Extreme-phenotype genome-wide association study (XP-GWAS) of powdery mildew race 2 W tolerance in the USDA Citrullus germplasm collection

Extreme-phenotype genome-wide association study (XP-GWAS) of powdery mildew race 2 W tolerance in the USDA Citrullus germplasm collection

Abstract Powdery mildew outbreaks, caused by Podosphaera xanthii, cause reduced watermelon yields as the plants produce fewer and smaller fruits due to premature leaf senescence. The reduced leaf canopy can decrease fruit quality due to sun scalding. Sources of powdery mildew tolerance were previous...
