study on relationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiencyof a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study,interrelationships between yield and its components in cantaloupe were investigatedusing sequential path coefficient analysis. to determine important components of yieldin cantaloupe, 49 genotypes generated from 7 × 7 diallel, were evaluated...

Historically, the United States has positioned itself as one of leading producers and consumers melons in world with a 2020 production value over $295 million (excluding watermelons). It been estimated that on average per capita consumption U.S. is about 24 pounds each year [1]. Increased consumer awareness healthy diets, sensory attributes melons, enhanced year-round availability, marketing te...

Using an automated rapid headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) method for volatile extraction in cantaloupes, 86 compounds already reported for muskmelons were recovered and an additional 53 compounds not previously reported were identified or tentatively identified. The SPME method extracted a copious number of volatiles that can be analyzed to clearly differentiate between variety, gro...

Cantaloupe and honeydew melon cultivars were processed and stored under a high oxygen passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or reduced oxygen controlled atmosphere (CA; 5 kPa O2 + 10 kPa CO2 and balance N2) for 14 days at 5 C. Atmosphere did not affect softening rate or soluble solids content and had a negligible effect on colour. Volatile compounds known as flavour-important in melons we...

We have developed an inexpensive, standardized paper chromogenic array (PCA) integrated with a machine learning approach to accurately identify single pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, or Escherichia coli O157:H7) multiple (either in monocultures, cocktail culture), the presence of background microflora on food. Cantaloupe, commodity significant volatile organic compoun...

Aiming at the trouble of low survival rate cantaloupe seedling in hyperthermia, drought and dry land Turpan region China, existing transplanting machine is key to mechanized non-destructive transportation planting large plants young tender melon seedlings, root water injection, precise soil piling holes，and other technical difficulties. The design mulch film transplanter for laying pipes belts ...
