A SNP mutation in CmSN, encoding an EamA-like transporter, is responsible for fruit skin netting in melon. In maturing melon (Cucumis melo L.), the rind becomes reticulated or netted, a unique characteristic that dramatically changes the appearance of the fruit. However, little is known about the molecular basis of fruit skin netting formation in this important cucurbit crop. Here, we conducted map-based cloning of a skin netting (CmSN) locus using segregating populations derived from the cross between the smooth-fruit line H906 and the netted-fruit line H581...
