(A) Breeding scheme used in the SC subNIL development (B) SSC values of melon fruits of the F₂ SC subNIL population, parental lines, and F₁ hybrid harvested at 55 DAP. (C) Shows single marker QTL analysis of F₂ population with likelihood ratio (LR) test statistic profile and significance threshold (dotted line) for SSC with SNPs on scaffold CM3.5.1_scaffold00022 (horizontal bar) on chromosome 5. Markers with (^*) show significant linkage to the QTL at the p < 0.05 level. QTL intervals are denoted by open bars.
