“…There were two accessions, 'Largo Negro' and 'Largo Negro Escrito', both very elongate and narrow, with extremely pointed ends and almost black color. There is no melon type published previously with all these characteristics, only the 'Rayado' (Nuez et al 1996) can be morphologically similar, nevertheless their complete absence of stripped bands did not permit their inclusion in this fruit type. The landrace 'Tempranillo', globular and ovate, very small, with orange skin and flesh color, even easy abscission of the peduncle after ripening, did not still adjust to the characteristics of a Cantalupensis type because of the absence of ribs, very pointed blossom end shape and longitudinal corked distribution.…”

“…Likewise, yellow spots were found speckled in a green skin, commonly observed in Rochet type. After reviewing previous studies based on Spanish varieties, it seems that we can find morphological characters in common among Villaconejos varieties and others located in different regions (Nuez et al 1996;López-Sesé et al 2003). Nevertheless, Villaconejos varieties presented some peculiarities: even if 'Mochuelo', 'Felipe' or 'Melón de Villaconejos' landraces showed characteristics of a Rochet type, these landraces possessed a very specific corked design around the blossom scar (star-shaped) accompanied by a golden speckled.…”

Only the melon type 'Desertnaya' (Nuez et al 1996) could be similar, but the white flesh of this already defined type did not permit the insertion of 'Tempranillo'.…”

The variability of 14 landraces belonging to a Madrilean village historically specialized on melon cultivation, Villaconejos, was evaluated based on 58 quantitative and qualitative morphological traits. These landraces were compared to a reference array composed of 14 accessions which represented the main varieties cultivated in Spanish fields. Individual data related to plant, fruit, seed and phenology have been analysed using a multivariate analysis. This analysis showed intra-and inter-varietal diversity, as emphasized the most discriminant morphological traits in order to define similarities. Villaconejos accessions were morphologically distinct from the reference accessions (RA). Only the landraces belonging to Piel de Sapo market class showed common morphological affinities with the RA, grouping with them. The majority of Villaconejos traditional varieties clustered in five different groups, with no RA within, showing distinctive morphological singularities not described previously. Two of these groups showed some particularities in fruit traits, which are appreciated as quality marks for Spanish consumers. These results indicate that these accessions must be conserved as valuable genetic resources to enrich the Inodorus genetic bases for future breeding proposes worldwide. Furthermore, it should be considered the opportunity of promoting their cultivation under the shelter of a Protected Geographical Indication as a high quality melon. Finally, the discovering of such a high variability presented in a very small area, gives a clue for focusing, with an elevated probability of success, future surveys in similar ancestral European villages which in the past times, also supplied more populated cities with their farming products.

“…Staub et al (2000) compared melon accessions of different botanical groups (Cantaloupensis, Inodorus, Conomon, and Flexuosus) using seven SSR polymorphic markers that amplified a total of 54 alleles. Besides, 93 alleles were detected in a study that evaluated the divergence of 40 melon accessions belonging to Cantaloupensis, Inodorus, and Conomon groups by 25 SSR markers (Ritschel et al, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT. Taking into account the scenario of melon production (Cucumis melo L.) in Brazil, it is notable the importance of the culture in the fruit market. The preference of the national market is concentrated in the fruits of the yellow type. Therefore, it is possible that the genetic base of the commercial cultivars is relatively narrow due to the loss of important genes in the breeding process, and it is possible to introgress external genes for increasing recombination possibilities that generate sources of resistance to the main diseases and superior genotypes. This study evaluated the genetic variability of 87 melon accessions composed of 72 commercial cultivars belonging to the Inodorus and Cantaloupensis groups and 15 plant introductions (PIs). Forty-four polymorphic SSR primers were used to amplify a total of 202 alleles. The expected heterozygosity presented an average of 0.519 and the PIC index of 0.458, being moderately informative. The dendrogram generated for the 72 cultivars grouped the genotypes into 2 main groups, and there was no association with the classification of groups of the genotypes in the grouping. The number of SSR markers was sufficient to predict wide genetic variability among the cultivars studied, with the similarity between 0.35 and 0.98. The dendrogram presented for the 72 cultivars and the 15 PI genotypes was not associated with the classification of the genotypes in the grouping, and the 15 PIs were well dispersed with similarity indexes that resemble the two groups studied. A set of 25 primers was identified that were useful in distinguishing the 72 cultivars. These primers can be used in later research with the cultivars, as well as in crop protection situations, being an important tool in the useful and rapid distinction of genotypes, and in commercial disputes regarding the certification of the main melon cultivars used in the country.

“…Genetic relationships between the SSR marker analyzed accessions were determined by applying the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) cluster analysis, and a dendrogram was obtained. These data analysis were performed using NTSYS-pc version 2.0 (Rohlf 1997). The robustness of the nodes of the dendrogram was assessed with bootstrap analysis using 2,000 iterations with the Win-Boot program (Yap and Nelson 1996).…”
