Assessing the Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of a Tunisian Melon (<i>Cucumis melo</i> L.) Collection Using Phenotypic Traits and SSR Molecular Markers

The assessment of genetic diversity and structure of a gene pool is a prerequisite for efficient organization, conservation, and utilization for crop improvement. This study evaluated the genetic diversity and population structure of 24 Tunisian melon accessions, by using 24 phenotypic traits and ei...
