Identification of the egusi seed trait locus (eg) and its suppressor gene associated with the thin seed coat trait in watermelon

Egusi watermelon has a unique egusi seed type, which could be useful for breeding both edible seeds and edible flesh in watermelon. However, the genetic basis of the unique egusi seed type is not clear. In the present study, we first reported that at least two genes with inhibitory epistasis were re...
