^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho~1~ RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.

^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.

Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs), their standard errors (S.E.),
confidence intervals (C.I.), *t*BLUPs, genotype scores, and family ranks
for measurements of mesocarp pressure (MP) in 81 melon (*Cucumis melo*
L.) recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between USDA
846-1 (P~1~) and "Top Mark" (P~2~) tested at El Centro, California in

^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.

Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs), their standard errors (S.E.),

^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.

Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs), their standard errors (S.E.),
confidence intervals (C.I.), *t*BLUPs, genotype scores, and family ranks
for seed cavity diameter (SCD) measurements in 81 melon (*Cucumis melo*
L.) recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between USDA
846-1 (P~1~) and "Top Mark" (P~2~) tested at El Centro, California in
2004.

^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.

Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs), their standard errors (S.E.),
confidence intervals (C.I.), *t*BLUPs, genotype scores, and family ranks
for ratio of fruit diameter to seed cavity diameter (F:C) in 81 melon
(*Cucumis melo* L.) recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross
between USDA 846-1 (P~1~) and "Top Mark" (P~2~) tested at Hancock,
Wisconsin in 2004.

^1^ The BLUP of a trait is the predicted value of a genotype (i.e.,
RIL-*x*~i~) relative to population BLUP (), and the *t*-statistic of a
BLUP (i.e., tBLUP) tests whether the BLUP is significantly different
than (Ho RIL-*x*~i~ ≠ ).

^2^ Genotypic score 1, 0, and --1 = superior (*t*BLUP ≥ 1.67),
intermediate (-1.67 \< *t*BLUP \< 1.67), and inferior (*t*BLUP ≤ -1.67)
performance at the 0.05 probability level, respectively.

^3^ RIL ranked according to their BLUPs from highest performing family
to the lowest performing.
