“…Pepino fruits are fleshy, typically of a golden yellow colour with purple stripes, and can be consumed as a fresh table fruit in the case of cultivars that have more aromatic and sweet fruits, or as a vegetable in salads, for cultivars with less sweet and more acid fruits (Rodríguez-Burruezo, Prohens, & Fita, 2011). Although pepino cultivation has been mainly restricted to the Andean region, in the last decades there has been a growing interest in several countries from the Mediterranean region, as well as in China, Japan, New Zealand, or the USA, in introducing pepino as a new vegetable crop (Gurung, Chakravarty, Chhetri, & Khawas, 2016;Herraiz et al, 2015a;Kim, Ishikawa, Yamada, Sato, & Shinohara, 2017;Rodríguez-Burruezo et al, 2011). However, the introduction of pepino in other countries outside its region of origin is threatened due to susceptibility to pests and diseases of tomato (Nuez Viñals & Ruiz Martínez, 1996), which is phylogenetically closely related to pepino (Herraiz et al, 2015a(Herraiz et al, , 2016aSärkinen, Bohs, Olmstead, & Knapp, 2013).…”
