Melo zard Pangalo Melo × ambiguua Pangalo Muskmelon (Cucumis melo) is a type of melon that has been developed in many cultivated varieties. These include smooth-skinned varieties such as mead, crenshaw and cocaba, as well as various mesh varieties (cantaloupe, Persian melon and Santa or Christmas melon). A large number of varieties in this kind of approaches that are found in wild cabbage, although morphological changes are not so extensive. It's a type fruit called pepo. The origin of the Muschmelonov is unknown. Studies have shown that seeds and stock were among the goods traded along the caravan routes of the Ancient World. Some botanists consider Muskmelonov natives of the Levant and Egypt, others - India or Central Asia. Still others support African origin, and nowadays wild musks can still be found in some African countries. The Muskmelon background is an annual, rear grass. It grows well in subtropical or warm, temperate climates. Musmelons prefer warm, well-fertilized soil with good drainage, which is rich in nutrients but vulnerable to softness and intermission. The risk of disease is reduced by crop rotation with non- chicken crops, avoiding crops prone to diseases such as muskmelins. Cross-pollination has led to some varieties developing resistance to powdered mold. Insects attracted to muskelons include cucumber beetle, melon aphid, melon and pickled worms. Genetics Genomic Information NCBI Genome ID10697PloidydiploidEned size374.77 MbNumber chromosomes12 Year completion2012 Muskmelons are monoepid plants. They do not intersect with watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin or courgettes, but varieties within the species often intersect. The Cucumis melo genome was first sequenced in 2012. Some authors refer to C. melo as two subspecies: C. melo agrestis and C. melo melo. Options within these subspecies fall into groups whose genetics largely agree with their phenotypic traits, such as disease resistance, peel texture, flesh color and fetal shape. Options or landraces (some of which were originally classified as species; see list of synonyms on the right) include C. melo var. acidulus, adana, agrestis, ameri, cantalupensis, chandalak, chate, chinensis, chito, conomon, dudaim, flexuosus, inodorus, makuwa, momordica. Not all varieties are sweet melons. Snake melon, also called Armenian cucumber and cucumber Snake, is a non-amathic melon found throughout Asia from Turkey to Japan. It looks like a cucumber in taste and appearance. Outside Asia, snake melons are grown in the United States, Italy, Sudan and parts of North Africa, including Egypt. Snake melon is more popular in Arab countries. Other varieties grown in Africa are bitter, cultivated for their edible seeds. For commercially grown varieties, some functions, such as protective hard mesh and hard flesh, are preferred for delivery purposes and other requirements of commercial markets. Food per 100 grams serving, cantaloupe melons provide 34 calories and are a rich source (20% or more Value, DV) vitamin A (68% DV) and vitamin C (61% DV), with other nutrients at a negligible level. Melons are 90% water and 9% carbohydrates, with less than 1% protein and fat. Uses in addition to their consumption when fresh, melons are sometimes dried. Other varieties are harvested or grown for their seeds, which are processed to produce melon oil. Other varieties are grown only for their pleasant aroma. Japanese liqueur, Midori, seasoned with muschelon. History There is a debate among scholars whether abattiach in the Book of Numbers 11:5 refers to muskmelon or watermelon. Both species of melon were known in ancient Egypt and other sedentary areas. Some botanists consider musmelonov to be native to the Levant and Egypt, while others place their origins in Persia, India or Central Asia, but the origin is unknown. Researchers showed that seeds and stock were among the goods traded along the caravan routes of the Ancient World. Some scientists support African origin, and nowadays wild musks can still be found in several African countries in East Africa, such as Ethiopia, Somalia and Tanzania. The melon was domesticated in West Asia, and over time many varieties evolved with a variety of shapes and sweets. Iran, India, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and China are becoming centers of melon production. Musmeloons were consumed in ancient Greece and Rome. The Galia melon gallery Japanese 'crown melon' is intended as an expensive gift: the depicted melon crown of 6,300 yen, or about US $59 'Square melon', grown in the Atsumi area, Aichi Japan, known as kakumero Armenian cucumber, despite its name, is actually a type of muskmelon.

To show their genetic diversity, 120 melon accessions, including 24 accessions of Hami melon, were analyzed using molecular markers of nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes. All Hami melon accessions were classified as the large-seed type with seed length longer than 9 mm, like US and Spanish Inodorus melon. Conomon accessions grown in east China were all the small- seed type. Both large- and small-seed types were in landraces from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. Analysis of an SNP in the PS-ID region (Rpl16-Rpl14) and size polymorphism of ccSSR7 showed that the melon accessions consisted of three chloroplast genome types, that is, maternal lineages. Hami melon accessions were T/338 bp type, which differed from Spanish melon and US Honey Dew (T/333 bp type), indicating a different maternal lineage within group Inodorus.

McPhee and Francisco J. Barba Received: 24 May 2019; Accepted: 25 June 2019; Published: 27 June 2019 Abstract: Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are the main sources of foodborne illness outbreaks with implicated pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes. This study aimed at investigating the influence of two key parameters (concentration of curcumin and illumination time) on the effects of curcumin-based photodynamic sterilization on the preservation of fresh-cut Hami melons. The results indicated that illumination with 50 µmol/L curcumin for 60 min using a blue LED lamp reduced the total aerobic microorganism count by ~1.8 log CFU/g in fresh-cut Hami melons. Besides this, the effects of photodynamic sterilization on the soluble solids content, color, water content, firmness, and sensory indices of the fresh-cut Hami melons were also evaluated. Compared to the control group, photodynamic sterilization can effectively delay the browning rate and maintain the luminosity, firmness, water content, and soluble solids content of fresh-cut Hami melon. The sensory quality was indeed preserved well after 9 days of storage in a fridge.

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.

  • 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.
