“…The country is also located in a secondary genetic diversity center . Turkey has been reported to be rich in melon genetic resources, as Turkish melons are morphologically diverse, especially in regard to fruit traits (Sari and Solmaz, 2007;Sensoy et al, 2007;Solmaz et al, 2010). However, these valuable genetic resources are being compromised by the cultivation of commercial varieties that have a higher yield and are of better quality.…”

ABSTRACT. Melon (Cucumis melo) is an important vegetable crop inTurkey, where it is grown in many regions; the most widely planted lines are local winter types belonging to the var. inodorous. We examined 81 melon genotypes collected from different provinces of Turkey, compared with 15 reference melon genotypes obtained from INRA/France, to determine genetic diversity among Turkish melons. Twenty polymorphic primers were used to generate the SSR markers. PCR amplification was performed and electrophoresis was conducted. SSR data were used to generate a binary matrix. For cluster analysis, UPGMA was employed to construct a clustering dendrogram based on the genetic distance matrix. The cophenetic correlation was compared with the similarity matrix using the Mantel matrix correspondence test to evaluate the representativeness of the dendrogram. A total of 123 alleles were amplified using the 20 SSR primer sets. The number of alleles detected by a single primer set ranged from 2 to 12, with an average of 6.15. The similarity ranged from 0.22 to 1.00 in the dendrogram developed from microsatellite analysis. Based on this molecular data, we concluded that genetic diversity among these Turkish accessions is relatively high.

“…A total of 46 genotypes were used in this study. Among them, 40 genotypes were collected from different regions of Turkey and morphologically characterized (Sari and Solmaz, 2007;Solmaz et al, 2010), which still exist in the melon genetic resources collection of the Department of Horticulture. For comparison of OP and Fı hybrids in embryo yield, we also added six hybrid cultivars (Ali Bey, Bugra, Westeros, Dardanos, Sinem, and Surmeli) from different commercial companies.…”

In vivo induction of parthenogenesis using an irradiated pollen technique provides successful results in melon and accelerates breeding by shortening the time for obtaining 100% homozygous lines. Gamma rays (cobalt-60) are usually used for the pollen irradiation, although it is difficult to find a suitable source for irradiation. Haploid technology is widely used in melon breeding programs, so there is a need to find alternative sources for pollen irradiation. This study was performed to compare the efficiency of different irradiation sources to induce haploid embryos. One dose of cobalt-60 (300 Gy), two different doses (200 Gy and 300 Gy) of cesium-137, and two different doses (200 Gy and 300 Gy) of X-ray were used for the irradiation of melon pollen. All irradiation sources were efficient for fruit set, while the highest fruit set (60.38%) was obtained from 200 Gy cesium-137 and the lowest (20.01%) was obtained from 300 Gy X-ray. A total of 2294 haploid embryos were rescued, of which 2052 regenerated into plants. The number of rescued haploid embryos per fruit ranged between 8.77 (300 Gy cobalt-60) and 4.23 (200 Gy X-ray). The highest regeneration rate of haploid embryos into plants was 92.56% (300 Gy cobalt-60) and the lowest was 61.86 % (200 Gy cesium-137).

“…38% of vegetable production in Turkey are Cucurbitaceae species which are watermelon, melon, cucumber, squash, and pumpkin. Of the 26,7 million tons of melon produced worldwide, 1,749 million tons of production, emerges from Turkey [16,17] Central Anatolia is the main melon production region in Turkey. Ankara, Balikesir, Diyarbakir, Konya and Manisa are the provinces of highest melon production in Turkey [18].…”
