“…It is considered to be the most diverse species, and several intraspecific classifications have been reported (Robinson and Decker-Walters, 1997;Nuñez-Palenius et al, 2008;Szamosi et al, 2010). Recently, Pitrat et al (2000) classified melons into 16 groups, 5 of which (conomon, makuwa, chinensis, momordica, and acidilus) can be assigned to the subsp agrestis and 11 (cantalupensis, reticulatus, adana, chandalak, ameri, inodorus, flexuosus, chate, tibish, dudaim, and chito) to the subsp melo.…”

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.

“…Umumnya tipe inodorus memiliki tekstur daging buah renyah, sedangkan tipe reticulatus dan cantalupensis memiliki tekstur daging buah kenyal. Keragaman ini terdapat pada karakter tipe kulit buah (berjala atau tidak berjala), warna kulit buah dan warna daging buah (hijau, oranye, atau putih), tingkat kemanisan, tekstur daging buah (lembut, kenyal, atau renyah), dan daya simpan buah (Nuñez-Palenius et al, 2008;Sobir dan Siregar, 2014 Tropika IPB, yaitu P2, P3, P5, P7, P9, P10, P12, P18, P19, P21, P23, P25, P26, P27, (Kaufman dan Rousseeuw, 1990).

Breeding of melon requires the availability of genetic diversity and extensive evaluations ABSTRAKPemuliaan tanaman melon memerlukan ketersediaan keragaman genetik dan evaluasi yang ekstesif pada materi genetik yang digunakan. Evaluasi karakteristik, kualitas buah, dan potensi hasil merupakan tahapan penting dalam pemuliaan tanaman melon. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari keragaman genetik dari 17 genotipe melon berdasarkan karakteristik kualitas buah dan mengidentifikasi genotipe potensial untuk dijadikan materi genetik dalam program pemuliaan. Percobaan dilakukan pada bulan Agustus hingga Oktober 2015 di Kebun Percobaan IPB Tajur II, Bogor Selatan (250 mdpl) menggunakan 17 genotipe melon. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak (RKLT) faktor tunggal dengan empat ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa genotipe berpengaruh nyata terhadap semua karakter yang diamati kecuali umur berbunga hermaprodit. Karakter yang memiliki nilai heritabilitas arti luas lebih besar dari 50% adalah umur berbunga jantan, umur panen, panjang buah, diameter buah, tebal daging, tebal kulit, bobot, dan kadar gula. Genotipe yang memiliki potensi untuk sifat bobot buah dan kadar gula tinggi adalah P21 dan P19, sedangkan P2 dan P12 masing-masing memiliki potensi yang baik untuk bobot buah dan kadar gula saja. Karakter bobot buah memiliki korelasi positif dan nyata dengan panjang buah, diameter buah, tebal daging buah, dan tebal kulit buah. Pengelompokan berdasarkan karakter morfologi secara umum dapat memisahkan genotipe-genotipe melon reticulatus dan inodorus ke dalam grup yang berbeda.

“…It exhibits extreme diversity in fruit traits. The species is highly polymorphic: melon fruits vary markedly in fruit shape, size, rind form, firmness, flesh color, ripening behavior, and flavor (Nuñez-Palenius et al, 2008). In addition, melon fruits have significant variations in ripening physiology and can be categorized as either climacteric or nonclimacteric based on their ripening-related respiration rate and ethylene evolution profiles (Giovannoni, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. The SBP-box gene family is specific to plants and encodes a class of zinc finger-containing transcription factors with a broad range of functions. Although SBP-box genes have been identified in numerous plants, including green algae, moss, silver birch, snapdragon, Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, there is little information concerning SBP-box genes, or the corresponding miR156/157, function in melon. Using the highly conserved sequence of the Arabidopsis thaliana SBPbox domain protein as a probe of information sequence, the genomewide protein database of melon was explored to obtain 13 SBP-box protein sequences, which were further divided into 4 groups, based on phylogenetic analysis. A further analysis centered on the melon SBPbox genetic family's phylogenetic evolution, sequence similarities, gene structure, and miR156 target sequence was also conducted. Analysis of all the expression patterns of melon SBP-box family genes showed that the SBP-box genes were detected in 7 kinds of tissue, and fruit had the highest expression level. CmSBP11 tends to present its specific expression in melon fruit and root. CmSBP09 expression was the highest in flower. Overall, the molecular evolution and expression 8795©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (4): 8794-8806 (2014) Identification and analysis of SBP-Box gene pattern of the melon SBP-box gene family, revealed by these results, suggest its function differentiation that followed gene duplication.
