Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Twenty-eight QTLs were detected for acidity traits.
- Observation Major-effect QTLs for pH, TA, and citric acid were repeatedly detected.
- Observation Major-effect QTLs for quinic acid were repeatedly detected.
- Observation Major-effect QTLs for shikimic acid were repeatedly detected.
- Observation Putative candidate genes for acidity QTLs were identified.
- Observation No QTL was found for malic acid content.
- Observation No QTL was found for TSS.
- Observation No QTL was found for individual sugar content.
- Observation There were 146 minor-effect QTLs for fruit texture and size.
- Observation Most texture and size QTLs were inconsistent across years and storage states.
- Recommendation Genomic selection may suit fruit texture, sugars and size better than MAS.
