Functional Validation of the Melon <i>Fom‐1</i> Gene, Controlling Resistance to <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Races 0 and 2, by <scp>CRISPR/</scp> Cas9 Mutagenesis
generation. This proved that MELO3C022146, the candidate gene for Fom-1, is responsible for resistance in melon cultivar Védrantais. Future studies will address the molecular functions of this gene as well as possible interactions between Fom-1 and its neighbour R-gene, Prv.
