AbstractMelon (Cucumis melo L.) is a very important crop throughout the world and has great economic importance, in part due to its nutritional properties. It prefers well-drained soil with low acidity and has a strong demand for water during fruit set. Therefore, a correct water balance—involving aquaporins—is necessary to maintain the plants in optimal condition. This manuscript describes the identification and comparative analysis of the complete set of aquaporins in melon. 31 aquaporin genes were identified, classified and analysed according to the evolutionary relationship of melon with related plant species. The individual role of each aquaporin in the transport of water, ions and small molecules was discussed. Finally, qPCR revealed that almost all melon aquaporins in roots and leaves were constitutively expressed. However, the high variations in expression among them point to different roles in water and solute transport, providing important features as that CmPIP1;1 is the predominant isoform and CmTIP1;1 is revealed as the most important osmoregulator in the tonoplast under optimal conditions. The results of this work pointing to the physiological importance of each individual aquaporin of melon opening a field of knowledge that deserves to be investigated.

Two melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions, plant introduction (PI) 157082 and PI 511890, reported to be resistant to gummy stem blight, a disease incited by the fungus Didymella bryoniae, were crossed with a susceptible parent to determine the inheritance of resistance. Resistance in both accessions is due to a single dominant gene, based on analysis of F1, F2, and backcross populations. Additionally, PI 157082 was crossed with PI 140471, the other source of resistance identified to date, to examine the genetic relationship of resistance found in these two sources. The frequency of susceptible individuals from the (PI 157082 × 140471) F2 population was consistent with a 15:1 resistant:susceptible ratio, indicating that PIs 140471 and 157082 possess different resistance genes.
