The results were reported in [[Journal of the American Society of Horticultural Sciences]].&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Texan researchers (Texas AgriLife Research) located genetic markers linked to fruit sugars, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and male sterility, which is useful for developing hybrid varieties. <br />
<br />
They said the genetic map will be helpful for future studies in identifying fruit sweetness, quality, size, shape, and resistance to diseases. <br />
