New genetic insights on adaptability and watermelon evolution
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Watermelon is a significant agricultural product on a global scale in terms of overall output and economic value. A complete "super-pangenome" for watermelon and its wild relatives was created by scientists at the Boyce Thompson Institute. This revealed useful genes lost during domesticatio
