Melon (Cucumis melo L.) usually used as a fresh fruit, which contained high vitamin C and in Indonesia melon is one of the favorite fruit. Indonesia is a country that has a high biodiversity. One of the potential strategies in order to improve productivity and quality of crops competitiveness is through plant breeding. This study used melon Aramis from PT East West Seed Indonesia hybrid melon from crosses between 7319 (F) with 7347 (M). The research aims to determine the phenotype character of melon cultivar Aramis and to detect powdery mildew resistance gene. The research is conducted in Pusat Inovasi Agro Teknologi (PIAT UGM) Yogyakarta and at the Laboratory of Genetics and Breeding Faculty of Biology, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Resistance genes detection is conducted by Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions method (SCARs) using PCR and showed negative result of Aramis cultivar on detection of gene resistance to powdery mildew.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
