Polyploidization is an ancient and recurrent process in plant evolution, impacting the
diversification of natural populations and plant breeding strategies. Polyploidization occurs
in many important crops; however, its effects on inheritance of many agronomic traits are still
poorly understood compared with diploid species. Higher levels of allelic dosage or more
complex interactions between alleles could affect the phenotype expression. Hence, the
present study aimed to dissect the genetic basis of fruit-related traits in autotetraploid …
