Inheritance of hydrogen potential (pH) and titratable acidity in the melon

Acidity is one of the main determinants taste and quality melon fruit, together with sugars volatilecompounds. The aim this study was to investigate inheritance hydrogen potential (pH) titratable acidity in fruit.A randomized block design three replications used evaluate F1and F2generations backcrosses (RC1and RC2) ofthe Védrantais (Cucumis melo subsp. var. reticulatus) high pH low acidity, AC-16melon (C. var acidulus), acidity. Inheritance inthe complex, each involves a major gene additive dominance effects associated polygenes withadditive effects.
