Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important diploid crop with a wide variety of flavors due to its distinct aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOC). To understand the development VOC profiles during fruit development, we performed metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis two cantaloupe varieties over course development. A total 130 metabolites were detected in samples, 449014207 reads mapped melon...

Some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (Semsouri and Shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. The physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (GMD), specific gravity (SG), mean firmness (MF), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). The chemical compositions were Brix, Titrable Acidity (T...

high groundwater salinity, a high water table and secondary soil salinization are dominant conditions in eastern isfahan province, iran. this region has a low annual rainfall, high annual evaporation demand, saline soils and limited fresh water supplies. to investigate the effects of irrigation deficit and salinity on cantaloupe (cucumis melo l. var. cantalupensis) production, a field experimen...
