Fruit cracking is episodic in nature, associated with a suite of physiological, biochemical, environmental, cultural, anatomical and genetic factors. Evolutionally speaking, the “ripening of the melon” helps seed dispersal and plant proliferation, but industrially speaking, fruit cracking reduces economic benefits and consumption values tremendously. Rind hardness or cracking resistance is intimately bound up with pulp quality. Therefore, one of the aims in watermelon breeding is to prod...
