<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>Center for Tropical Horticulture Studies (CTHS) have conducted  melon breeding to meet the need of the expanding melon production  in Indonesia. Four melon genotypes of  IPB Meta 3, IPB Meta 4, IPB Meta 6, IPB Meta 8H exhibit superior performance during selection. Prior to release or to register, these melon genotypes need to be evaluated for their main characteristics. Four potential genotypes  along  with  two  control  varieties  of  Action  434  and Sky  Sweet  were  evaluated  under  a single  factor  Randomized  Complete Block  Design  (RCBD)  with  four  replications.  The  results revelaed  that CTHS  melon  genotypes  exhibited  good  performance.  IPB  Meta  4  has larger  stem diameter and leaf size compared  to  Action 434 and Sky Sweet, subsequently  flesh color  of IPB Meta 3,  IPB  Meta  6,  and  IPB  Meta  8H  are oranges, where  as  both  control  varieties  are  green.  Theseresults indicated that melon genotypes  developed in CTHS have unique characteristics, which could be developed for speciality market.</p><p>Keywords: fruit quality, melon, morphological characteristics</p><p> </p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Pusat  Kajian  Hortikultura  Tropika  (PKHT)  telah  melakukan  penelitian pemuliaan  tanaman untuk  mengetahui  kebutuhan  pengembangan  produksi melon  di  Indonesia.  Empat  genotipe  melon yakni  IPB  Meta  3,  IPB  Meta 4, IPB Meta 6, IPB  Meta  8H  menunjukkan  penampilan  baik  pada percobaan sebelumnya.

A map of melon (Cucumis melo L.) with 411 markers (234 RFLPs, 94 AFLPs, 47 RAPDs, 29 SSRs, five inter-SSRs, and two isozymes) and one morphological trait (carpel number) was constructed using the F2 progeny of a cross between the Korean accession PI161375 and the Spanish melon type 'Pinyonet Piel de Sapo'. RFLPs were obtained using 212 probes from different genomic and cDNA melon libraries, including 16 Arabidopsis ESTs, 13 Cucumis known genes, and three resistant gene homologues. Most loci (391) mapped to 12 major linkage groups, spanning a total genetic distance of 1197 cM, with an average map interval of 3 cM/marker. The remaining 21 loci (six RAPDs and 15 AFLPs) were not linked. A majority (66%) of the markers were codominant (RFLPs, SSRs, and isozymes), making them easily transferable to other melon crosses. Such markers can be used as a reference, to merge other melon and cucumber maps already constructed. Indeed, some of them (23 SSRs, 14 RFLPs, one isozyme, and one morphological trait) could act as anchor points with other published cucurbit maps.Key words: Cucumis melo, genetic map, molecular markers, RFLPs, SSRs.

A study was conducted to determine the influence of the ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), on the shelf life and deterioration during storage at 5 °C of intact netted muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus) fruit and fresh-cut cubes prepared from those fruit. ‘Durango’, ‘Magellan’, and ‘7920’ fruit (3/4 to full-slip stage) were treated with 1-MCP (1.0 μL·L−1) for 24 h at 20 °C. Preliminary research with ‘Athena’ muskmelon had shown that the more physiologically advanced distal pericarp tissue developed significantly more watersoaking than the less advanced proximal and center portions during 5 °C storage; therefore, after treatment with 1-MCP and cooling to 5 °C, the center portions of the fruit were used to prepare the fresh-cut samples. Fresh-cut cubes and intact fruit were stored for 12 d at 5 °C. Intact fruit of all tested cultivars responded to 1-MCP application with improved firmness retention during storage, but no watersoaking was observed in intact fruit. The effect of 1-MCP treatment on the firmness retention and watersoaking of fresh-cut cubes from the different cultivars was inconsistent. Exposure of muskmelon fruit to 1-MCP did not significantly influence the flesh color or soluble solid contents of either intact fruit or fresh-cut cubes during storage at 5 °C.

Fruit Load

The effect of zero, one, and two fruits per vine on plant growth and reaction to Monosporascus root rot/vine decline were investigated. In the first study, four cultivars with differing levels of tolerance were evaluated (`Primo', `Deltex', `Caravelle', `Magnum 45'). Vine decline ratings were taken weekly during the harvest period for 4 weeks. Treatments with no fruit showed delayed and less-severe vine decline symptoms. Temperature also effected vine decline symptom expression. In a Fall test, with lower temperatures during fruit maturity, symptoms were delayed in all treatments and often absent in treatments with no fruit load. Vine decline symptom expression is greatly effected by physiological (fruit load) and temperature stress. A subsequent study was conducted to more precisely quantify the effect of various fruit loads on shoot/root partitioning and vine decline symptoms. In addition to growth parameters root disease ratings were taken. `Caravelle', the most-susceptible genotype, was grown under differing fruit loads as mentioned above in Weslaco and Uvalde, Texas. As fruit load increased, root size decreased. Increased vine decline symptoms were observed under higher fruit loads. The implications on germplasm screening and breeding for resistance will be discussed.

Per Capita Consumption

Within the Cucurbitaceae are two genera, Cucumis and Citrullus (muskmelons and watermelon, respectively), with sweet-tasting fruits. Per-capita consumption of these two genera rank melons (11.6 kg) second only to bananas (12.6 kg) as the most-consumed fruit in the United States. Consumption of melons, especially muskmelon and honey dew fruits, is significant from the standpoint of their nutritional benefits to humans. Orange-fleshed melons provide a person with 100% of their daily requirement of vitamins A and C. Melons also are a significant source of nutrients: sugars, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, and “phytochemicals.” Phytochemicals are compounds not presently recognized as having nutrient value. Thirty-eight known phytochemicals are in melons and have preventive properties in addition to anti-cancer attributes. Use of beta-carotene-rich melons is important in chemopreventive trials. Melon production and genetic factors may affect human health-beneficial nutrient and phytochemical quality attributes.

Hybrid honey dew muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorus Naud.) fruit physiological maturity, the period of maximized or greatest compositional changes, occurs by 40 days after anthesis (DAA). Fruit maturity was determined by major changes in quality attributes: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and moisture content, firmness, mass, volume, and hypodermal-mesocarp plasma membrane specific H+-ATPase (E.C. 3.6.1.3) activity. Fruit ripening occurs by 50 DAA, as determined by additional changes in the mentioned quality attributes, and by fruit abscission at 50 DAA. Fruit senescence begins with decreases in almost all quality attributes, H+-ATPase activity, protein content, by the largest increase in the total free sterol : total phospholipid (FS:PL) ratio, and in hypodermal-mesocarp lipoxygenase (E.C. 1.13.11.12) activity. Physicochemical profiles of hybrid honey dew muskmelon fruit during growth and maturation should be useful to schedule commercial harvest of mature fruit, which is necessary for maximum honey dew fruit quality, extended shelf-life, and enhanced consumer satisfaction.
