Fruit characters of Cucumis melo L.: ‘tacapa green black’, ‘melona’ and ‘meloni’

Melon has high demand, but most of the Indonesian farmers planted import seeds of melon which has expensive price. Hence, Indonesia should produce high-quality melon seeds. This research used three melon cultivars (Cucumis melo L.): ‘Tacapa Green Black (GB)’, ‘Melona’, and ‘Meloni’ which are the result of breeding in Genetic and Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Biology, Gadjah Mada University. The purpose of this study is to describe fruit morphological characters of these melon cultivars. ‘Tacapa GB’ is breeding result of Testcross ♀ ‘Act3 434’ X F1 ‘PI 371795’, ‘Melona’ is segregation from ‘Luna’ and ‘Meloni’ is breeding result of ♀ ‘SL-3’ X ♂ ‘PI 371795’. Seeds of ‘Tacapa GB’, ‘Melona’ and ‘Meloni’ was planted. While harvest, these melons were measured, observed, and documented to obtain the quantity and quality of fruit characters. Data were analyzed and compared each other. The results showed ‘Tacapa GB’ has weight average of 3.2 kg, brix of 7–9, fruit shape's is oval, fruit color is yellow-green, and rind color is dark green. ‘Melona' has weight average of 0.8 kg, brix of 7–15, fruit color is orange, having lobes, and sweet. ‘Meloni' has an oval shape, fruit color is pale yellow, the weight of 1.1 kg, brix of 8–16 and fragrant.<o:p></o:p>

Background: A powdery mildew-resistant cultivar of melon is needed to increase melon yield crops. Meloni is a superior melon cultivar bred through a crossing between ♀ SL-3 and ♂ PI 371795, resulted by the Laboratory of Genetics and Breeding, Faculty of Biology, UGM. This study aimed to determine the level resistance of Meloni to powdery mildew infection and to identify the powdery mildew species that infected Meloni based on morphological characters. Methods: Meloni seeds were germinated and planted in the greenhouse of PIAT UGM. Powdery mildew spores were inoculated into the leaves after ±2 weeks of age. Leaf infected were scored using the gridline every 3 days for 6 weeks. Scoring results were converted to the diseases index score. Furthermore, powdery mildew species was identified using morphological characters. Results: Meloni had a tolerance level of resistance to the powdery mildew infection. Based on the morphological characters with fibrosin bodies, conidia ovoid-shape and the position of the germ tube in the lateral part of the conidia, powdery mildew that infected Meloni was expected as P. xanthii. Conclusions: Meloni can be expected as an alternative to superior melon seeds resistant to pest and disease infections especially powdery mildew.

Objective: To determine the physical and physiological characteristics of Creole melon seeds from the Costa Chica ofGuerrero.Design/Methodology/Approach: It was established under a completely randomized design, and Student’s t-tests (a=0.05) and correlation with Pearson’s test were performed. Viability and imbibition were carried out using the methodologies described by the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA).Results: Creole seeds of the two varieties presented a significant statistical difference (95% confidence level) in the physical quality variables. The imbibition ended at 18 and 32 h in V2 and V1, respectively, after being submerged in water. The humidity percentage was higher in V1 (7.19); while, V2 presented a higher percentage of germination and viability (96 and 90%, respectively). There is a positive association between the humidity and the physical dimensions of the seed and the germination and viability (r2=0.954) that is highly significant (P=0.003).Study Limitations/Implications: Morphological and taxonomic classification studies of the Creole genotypes of the Costa Chica region of Guerrero are required.Findings/Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between the physical and physiological quality of the Creole melon seeds.

Bioactive microalgae compounds have been shown to be excellent stimulants for seed germination. This study aimed at the production of biomass of Chlorella sp. through the modulation of the culture medium and its further use as bioestimulant in melon seed germination (Cucumis melo L.). Chlorella sp. cells were grown in medium containing distinctive levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and carbon (C), and analyzes of yield, hygroscopic behavior and the amino acid profile of the biomass were carried out for all treatments. In addition, mechanical hydrolysis of the biomass through high-energy wet grinding was performed, obtaining suitable particle size. After biomass characterization, an aqueous solution of the hydrolyzate was used for biostimulation of melon seeds. The different growth medium composition affected biomass yield and amino acid profile. The most significant effects for seed biostimulation were obtained during growth in medium containing intermediary or low levels of NPK and C, with germination index (GI) of 92 and 95%, and germination speed index (GSI) of 8.00000 and 8,26087 seedlings.day-1, respectively. It is concluded that the modulation of the cultivation of Chlorella sp. is a viable strategy for the production of active compounds. The hydrolysates of Chlorella sp. demonstrated a biostimulant potential and can be a source of molecules for many applications in agriculture.

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a horticultural commodity that has high economic value. The sweet taste, thick flesh, crunchy texture and high quality are the reasons people are interested in melon. The increase in melon productivity can be supported by the use of superior seeds and cultivation with a hydroponic system. The purpose of this research were to obtain premium melon with high quality which are characterized by sweetness levels above 15 brix, attractive skin and flesh color, high vitamin C content, and fruit flesh thickness. The study was conducted in March to July 2021 in greenhouse CV. Agroniaga. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 8 treatments: N1 (Formulation 1), N2 (Formulation 2), N3 (Formulation 3), N4 (Formulation 4), N5 (Formulation 5), N6 (Control 1 AB mix Nutriponic ), N7 (Control 2 AB mix Goodplant), and N8 (Control 3 General). Quantitative data were analyzed by analysis of variance at the 5% level. If there is a significant difference between treatments, the further test is continued with the Duncan multiple range test at a significance level of 5%. Qualitative observation data will be analyzed with descriptive statistics. Result of this research showed that N3 formula is the best to increase both harvest and quality of fruit.
