With the definite purpose of studying wild tomato material in the .field and of collecting whatever was available, particularly from plants ibelieved to be truly wild, Dr. H. L. Blood, of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, and cooperating with the Division of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, spent the last 2 months of 1937 in Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, and Chile, collecting not only this type of material but also cultivated tomatoes from native markets. In addition to true tomatoes, he gathered seeds of various other non- tuberous solanaceous plants, including species of Cyphomandra, Jficandra, Physalis, and Solanwm^ which have been added to the work- ing material of Department pathologists. Since that time, many of his collections have been studied taxo- nomically and reported by C* H. Muller (Miscellaneous Publication No. 382, A Revision of the Genus Lyeopersicon^ July 1940); these include one new species, one new variety, and three new forms. Pathologists have already published on the unusual characteristics of one of the wild tomatoes, Lyeopersicon hirsutwm, found by Dr.

PHYTOPHTHORA ROT of HONEYDEW MELON ' by C
PHYTOPHTHORA ROT OF HONEYDEW MELON ' By C. M. ToMPKiNs, assistant plant pathologist^ California Agricultural Experiment Station, and C. M. TUCKER, plant pathologist, Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station 2 INTRODUCTION On September 5, 1935, a rot of Honey dew melon fruits {Cucumis melo, L. var. inodorus Naud.), caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian {5)j^ was observed in part of an extensive planting near Modesto, Calif. The crop was a total loss within the diseased area, involving approximately 2 acres. Visits to other sections of the San Joaquin Valley where Honeydew melons are grown commercially failed to reveal further evidence of the disease. An investigation of the dis- ease, with special reference to cause, factors favoring infection, and host range, seemed desirable because of the economic importance of this and other cucurbitaceous crops grown in the interior valleys of California. DISEASE FAVORED BY WET SOIL AND HIGH TEMPERATURES Phytophthora rot of Honeydew melon occurred on heavy, water- logged soil during the season of prevailing high temperatures. The infested area, lower than the rest of the field, had been improperly graded and lacked adequate drainage outlets. Frequent and heavy irrigations during the latter part of the growing season, necessitated by crop requirements, caused the soil to become waterlogged. Excess water accumulated in small, shallow pools, in and between the rows^ and some plants were partly submerged. High temperatures and the contact of the fruits with the wet soil established ideal conditions for infection. The disease did not occur elsewhere in the same field where drainage facihties were good. SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE In this disease of the Honeydew melon plant, only the fruits are susceptible to natural infection by Phytophthora capsici.

Nutritional Composition and Oil Characteristics of Golden Melon (Cucumis Melo ) Seeds
Food Science and Quality Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6088 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0557 (Online) Vol.27, 2014 Nutritional Composition and Oil Characteristics of Golden Melon (Cucumis melo ) Seeds Oluwatoyin H. Raji * Oluwaseun T. Orelaja Department of Food Technology, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Abeokuta, P.O.box 2210 Abeokuta, Ogun state * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This study investigated the mineral and proximate composition of Golden/canary melon ( Cucumis melo ) seeds and the physiochemical properties of the seed oil. Proximate composition and physicochemical properties of oil were performed according to AOAC procedures. Minerals were determined using the method of Novozamsky et al. (1983). Results show that the seeds contained high percentage of crude fibre (33.94%) and low percentage of carbohydrate (3.14%). The seeds also contain high value of iron (136.5ppm), zinc (48.35ppm), manganese (25.70ppm), copper (15.40ppm) and low value of calcium (0.023±0.001%). Hexane extracted oil had acid value (2.68mgKOH/g) peroxide value (7.42mgKOH/g), iodine value of (117.43mgKOH/g), saponification value (191.42), free fatty acid (2.34) moisture content (5.68%), and refractive index (1.62) respectively. The seeds serve as good sources of crude fiber, fat and protein. Results also showed that the golden/canary melon oil is non rancid. Keywords: Physicochemical, Golden melon, Hexane extracted oil 1. Introduction Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbit) is an important family comprising one of the most genetically diverse groups of food plants. Most of the plants belonging to this family are frost sensitive and drought-tolerant (Whitaker and Bohn, 1950).

Traditionally, there were two primary orange flesh melon types grown and sold; western types, which are fruits that range in size from about 3 to 5 pounds which are heavily netted and not sutured, and eastern types which have some netting, have a shorter shelf life but have a larger fruit size than a western melon, and tend to have a softer flesh with apparent more flavor than a western melon.

Abstract A procedure for the regeneration of melon (Cucumis melo L.) cv. Maazoun and Beji via shoot organogenesis from cotyledon explants is described. Cotyledons explants cultivated on the basal Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium, added with combinations of BAP, NAA and 2,4-D developed adventitious shoots after two weeks. The rates of caulogenesis varied according to the medium hormonal composition and the genotype. The best induction medium for a morphogenic response was MS containing 0.5 mgl-1 NAA and 2 mgl-1 BAP. The highest caulogenesis percentages were 79.16% and 58.33% for Maazoun and Beji cultivars respectively. The mean number of buds per callus was 2.92. Development phases were characterized by histological studies. Some phases of shoot organogenesis were observed in Cucumis melo L. Maazoun and Beji cultivars. The shoots were rooted in MS medium without growth regulators or added NAA (0.5 or 1 mgl-1).

Genetic Stability in Melon Transformation System: Assessment by Flow Cytometry and ISSR Markers
Genetic Stability in Melon Transformation System: Assessment by Flow Cytometry and ISSR Markers Mohammad Reza Raji ( [email protected] ) Lorestan University Mostafa Farajpour Crop and Horticultural Science Research Department Research Article Keywords: Gene Transformation, Direct Organogenesis, Genetic Fidelity, Inter Single Sequence Repeat Marker, Flow Cytometry Posted Date: August 17th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-756109/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/14 Abstract Genetic instability in melon species sometimes occurs as a result of in vitro tissue culture and transformation systems. This study describes a new regeneration technique for agrobacterium-mediated co-culture of muskmelon explants (Cucumis melo L. c.v. ‘Khatooni’). Here, no genetic instability was observed in positive PCR regenerants. 4-day-old cotyledonary explants had been infected with LBA4404 Agrobacterium suspensions. The co-cultivation occurred in the presence of 100mg/l rifampicin and 50mg/l kanamycin. The bacteria contained a binary vector pBI121 carrying nopaline synthase by the promoter-neomycin phosphotransferase gene. The regeneration succeeded 65% in selective MS medium containing N6-benzylaminopurine (600 µg/l), β-naphthoxyacetic acid (25 µg/l) and 50mg/l kanamycin in inoculated 4-day-old cotyledonary explants. According to the polymerase chain reaction analysis of neomycin phosphotransferase II gene, transformation was merely successful (8.4%), indicating a substantial miss on a large number of regenerated plants in the selective medium, as a consequence of PGR and antibiotic imbalances. Inter Single Sequence Repeat markers and ow cytometry analyses were used for evaluating the genetic stability and ploidy level of transplants, respectively.
