BACKGROUND The oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa) is one of the most important cultivated cucurbits grown widely in Korea, Japan, and northern China. It is cultivated because its fruit has a sweet aromatic flavor and is rich in soluble sugars, organic acids, minerals, and vitamins. In order to elucidate the genetic and molecular basis of the developmental changes that determine size, ...

abstract considering to importance and high genetic diversity of pear (pyrus communis l.) in iran, a study was conducted on the effect of genotype on fruit physicochemical properties and qualitative characteristics of six mature european pear genotypes in teheran, iran environmental conditions. in this study some physicochemical fruit properties and qualitative characteristics such as: fruit le...

The size and quality of the melon fruit yield depend on cultivar, climatic agronomic factors. A three-year field experiment investigated effect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) application irrigation (IR) (Cucumis melo L. var. saccharinus Naud.) cultivars. study was conducted a certified organic farm located in south-eastern Poland (51.36° N, 22.83° E). factors were as follows: cultivar (Melb...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of the combined use of rain shelters (rs) and deficit irrigation (di) on tomato yield and quality characteristics. two experiments with different treatments were conducted in the southern china during the growing season in 2011 and 2012. the crops were irrigated to field capacity once average soil water content at the 0-60 cm layer in the treatm...

in order to determinate the self–incompatibility and the most suitable pollinizer for esfahan commercial quince cultivar, the effects of four different pollinizer treatments ((km1, pk2, kvd2, nb4), as self pollination and open pollination) on fruit set and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of commercial quince fruits of isfahan were studied in a randomized complete block design with ...

The melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is distributed widely in temperate, tropical, and sub-tropical regions of the world. It has been reported to damage 81 host plants and is a major pest of cucurbitaceous vegetables, particularly the bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), muskmelon (Cucumis melo), snap melon (C. melo var. momordica), and snake gourd (Tric...

Abstract. Saputra HE, Syukur M, Suwarno WB, Sobir. 2022. Diversity and similarity of melon (Cucumis melo L.) groups determination distinguishing morphological characters. Biodiversitas 23: 6254-6261. Characterization is an important activity for the study genotype diversity similarity. The was aiming at obtaining information about to determine characters as differentiators between groups. genot...

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) play important role in the synthesis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which influence the aroma of fruit. In this study, we elucidate that there is a positive relationship between LOXs activity and VOC production in melon (Cucumis melo), and CmLOX genes are involved in fruit aroma generation in melon. To this end, we tested four aroma types of melon that feature a thin...

Pepino (Solanum muricatum Aiton), also known as melon-pear, is a vegetatively propagated vegetable crop grown for its juicy and aromatic fruit. Great variation in fruit weight, shape, and color can be found among cultivars of pepino (Anderson et al., 1996; Heiser, 1985). Despite being an important crop in Pre-Columbian times in the Andean region, it has not achieved the same relevance as other ...
