Many melon varieties suffer from sulfur phytotoxicity limiting the use of this highly effective method of disease control. CucCAP researchers in Charleston, SC (USDA-ARS and Clemson University) in collaboration with HM.Clause identified a major QTL associated with sulfur tolerance in a melon mapping population. Genetic markers were developed for the major QTL and can be used to incorporate sulfur tolerance in melon breeding programs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Read the article:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fpls.2020.01097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QTL Mapping and Marker Development for Tolerance to Sulfur Phytotoxicity in Melon (<em>Cucumis melo<\/em>)<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nby Sandra E.
