Construction and phenotypic analysis of EMS mutant library of the seed-used pumpkin
Abstract [Objective] This study aims to accelerate the innovation process of germplasm resources of the seed-used pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) by constructing a mutant library, which is critical for variety selection and improvement of the genetic basis.[Methods] 1.8% ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) was used to treat ZHL4 seeds of the seed-used pumpkin
