Abstract

The content of sucrose is one of the most important characters in the value of quality of melon fruit. For genetic studies of sucrose content, a wild melon GM42, as a very low sucrose parent (mean, 9.82 mg · $g^{-1}$ fresh wt) was crossed with a high sucrose breeding line, GM19 (mean, 52.25 mg · $g^{-1}$ fresh wt). And $F_{1}$, $F_{2}$, $BP_{1}$, and $BP_{2}$ populations were made. Here we show that the difference in sucrose content between GM42 and GM19 is controlled quantitatively by at least three major genes (A,B,C). Low sucrose content line, GM42 has triple recessive genes, aabbcc. And high line, GM19 has triple dominant genes, AABBCC. The additive effects of genes contributed to sucrose content were as follows; 'A' was 30 mg · $g^{-1}$ fresh wt, ‘'B’' 15 mg · $g^{-1}$ fresh wt, and 'C' 15 mg· $g^{-1}$ fresh wt, respectively. The heritability was relatively high ($h^{2}_{B}$=77.5%; $h^{2}_{N}$=42.3%)
