Tendral type cultivar melons (Cucumis melo L., inodorus group, Winter melon variety) were stored for a 75-d postharvest period in a ventilated chamber at 10 oC ± 1 oC and 75% ± 5 % RH. Qualitative degradation of the fruit was observed mainly involving proteins and ascorbic acid. It was also found that the sugar/acid ratio increased while the glucose/fructose ratio decreased, thus making the fru...

root rot and vine decline caused by monosporascus cannonballus is a major challenge for melon production world-wide. in recent years, a disease suggested to be related to this pathogen was observed 1-2 weeks prior to harvest in many melon production areas across iran. in this study, melon plants with symptoms of chlorosis, wilting, decline and/or sudden death were collected from melon growing a...

Introduction: The genetic diversity of melon groups has been characterized using molecular analyses (5, 6, & 8). Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers have been used by García et al. (1) and Staub et al. (7) to assess the genetic diversity of elite germplasm. Likewise, Mliki et al. (3) and Nakata (4) used the same markers employed by Staub et al. (7) to define the diversity among African and...

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa) is one of six subspecies of melon and is cultivated widely in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. Although oriental melon is economically valuable in Asia and is genetically distinct from other subspecies, few reports of genome-scale research on oriental melon have been published. We generated 30.5 and 36.8 Gb of raw RNA sequence data from ...
