Abstract:Two different melon cultivars, Canary and Vietnamese non-sweet melons, are used to compare the fruit's sweetness levels. The results indicate that the Canary melon is much sweeter than the non-sweet melon. The transcript levels of the sugar metabolism genes, including <em>Cucumis melo ACID INVERTASE 2</em> (<em>CmAIN2</em>) and <em>SUCROSE SYNTHASE 1</em> (<em>CmSUS1</em>), are examined in two fruit tissues. PCR using cDNA and the electrophoresis assays indicate … Show more
