A study was carried out to determine the effects of different mulch materials on plant growth, some quality properties and yield in melon cultivars in high altitude environmental condition. Clear mulch application affected more plant growth than the other applications. Fruit width, fruit length, dry matter in fruit, total soluble solid, color, husk thickness, fruit fresh thickness, fruit firmne...

Herein, we report on the results of solventand sorbent-free HS-GC-MS (headspace – gas chromatography – mass spectrometry) analysis of the headspace volatiles (HSVs) of fruits of cultivated melon (Cucumis melo L. cultivar “ananas dinja” [pineapple melon]) and pear (Pyrus communis L. cultivar “Julska lepotica” [the beauty of July]), as well as of underground parts of carrot (Daucus carota L. cult...

Prezygotic interspecific crossability barrier in the genus Cucumis is related to the ploidy level of the species (cucumber (C. sativus), x = 7; muskmelon (C. melo) and wild Cucumis species, x = 12). Polyploidization of maternal plants helps hybridization among other Cucumis species by overcoming prezygotic genetic barriers. The main objective of this paper is to compare the results of several m...

Abstract Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that has extensive history of cultivation. However, the genome wild and semi-wild melon types can be used for analysis agronomic traits not yet available. Here we report a chromosome-level T2T assembly 821 (C. ssp. agrestis var. acidulus), with two haplotypes ~373 Mb ~364 Mb, respectively. Comparative discovered significant number ...
