- Observation Fruit size-related traits showed transgressive segregation in the F2 population.
- Mechanism The segregation suggests that fruit size is quantitatively controlled by multiple genes.
- Method / resource A genetic map with average marker spacing of 154 kb was constructed.
- Observation Assimilate accumulation pathways including carbohydrate metabolism were significantly enriched among differentially expressed genes.
- Observation Thirteen candidate genes associated with fruit size were selected based on predicted mutation impacts.
- Observation CmaCh17G011340 and CmaCh04G029660 were selected as phytohormone-related candidates for further investigation.
- Method / resource One insertion-deletion was converted into a KASP marker.
- Method / resource Three SNPs were converted into KASP markers.
- Recommendation The genetic map and linked KASP markers can be used in marker-assisted breeding for fruit size.
