Full textAbstract:
The effect of Cucurbita and melon rootstocks on the horticultural and pathological performance of grafted Fusarium-susceptible melons was studied in four field experiments conducted in Fusarium-infested and Fusarium-free soils. The melon/melon combinations performed better than the melon/Cucurbita combinations regarding yield and disease control. In the 1999 experiment conducted in infested soil, Fusarium wilt symptoms were observed only in the nongrafted susceptible melons whereas all grafted combinations were symptom-free. In the 2000 experiment, nongrafted susceptible melons were totally wilted, whereas disease incidence in the melon/melon combinations and in one of the melon/Cucurbita combinations was low. The response of grafted plants to Fusarium wilt was also affected by the susceptibility of the scion. Among nongrafted melon cv. Ananas Ein Dor and those grafted onto Brava rootstock, 82% and 20%, were diseased, respectively, compared with only 36% and 0%, of the nongrafted and grafted `Ofir' melons, respectively. Negligible quantities of fruit were harvested from the nongrafted plants grown in infested soil, whereas high and moderate yields were obtained from melons grafted onto melon and Cucurbita rootstocks, respectively. The yield of the nongrafted melons in Fusarium-free soils were similar to those of all the grafted plant combinations. Susceptible melon scions grafted onto resistant melon rootstocks were less colonized by F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis than the same melons grafted onto the Cucurbita rootstocks.

Full textAbstract:
Several factors influence the quality of melon fruits and foliar fertilizer application is one method for improving their quality. The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the response of commercial melon varieties to a soilless culture system in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, and (2) to evaluate the quality of melon fruit under various foliar fertilizer treatments. The experiment was arranged as a completely randomized block design with four replications. Eight commercial melon varieties, including four orange pulp melons (Sandee, Baramee, Sanwan, and Melon cat 697) and four green pulp melons (Kissme, Snowgreen, Melon Princess, and Kimoji), were used in this study. At 1–5 weeks after planting, the growth of the melons was measured using agronomic traits. Four foliar fertilizers (distilled water, micronutrients, secondary nutrients + micronutrients, and amino acid + micronutrients) were sprayed on the melon leaves at 1–5 weeks after pollination, and the growth of the melons, using fruit traits, was recorded. After harvesting, the melons were assessed for the quality of the fruit. This study was conducted at the School of Agricultural Technology and Food Industry’s greenhouse and the Food Chemistry Laboratory of the Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment, Walailak University. In nearly all of the observed growth weeks, the data demonstrate that most agronomic and fruit traits were significantly different between the melon varieties. Sandee, Baramee, Melon cat 697, and Melon Princess are recommended for planting under Nakhon Si Thammarat’s climate, based on fruit size and quality. Foliar fertilizer application impacted the shape, skin color, and quality of the melon. Melons treated with micronutrients, secondary nutrients and micronutrients, and amino acids and micronutrients exhibited better measures of fruit quality than those treated with non-foliar treatments. There was also an interaction observed between melon variety and foliar fertilizer application. Based on measures of fruit quality, Baramee, Melon cat 697, Kissme, and Melon Princess were more responsive to foliar fertilizer application than other melon varieties tested.

Full textAbstract:
Powdery mildew is one of the diseases caused by fungal infections that can reduce the production of melon fruit worldwide including in Indonesia. A powdery mildew-resistant cultivar of melon is needed to increase melon yield crops. This study aimed to detect resistance gene linked to powdery mildew using a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. The melon cultivar Meloni was used in this study. SL-3, PI 371795, and Aramis cultivar were used to compare. Amplification of the marker was performed employing a pair of primers. The result showed that Meloni had a powdery mildew resistance gene by the presence of a DNA target band at 1058 base pair (bp). Based on this result, it could be concluded that Meloni was an excellent melon cultivar because of its ability to overcome the powdery mildew infections naturally. SCAR markers have been used for various purposes, especially to detect resistance genes to plant diseases. The present study had provided information for plant breeders about Meloni as the new melon cultivar that was genetically resistant against powdery mildew infections. Furthermore, Meloni could be proposed as an alternative to native Indonesian superior melon seeds.

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) has polymorphic varieties that affect genetic diversity. Melon cv. Meloni and cv. Tacapa Green Black are new cultivars produced by Universitas Gadjah Mada. The information about respiration rate, volatile compounds, and firmness, including the impact on storage time of those novel cultivars, is not available yet. This work aimed to investigate the respiration rate, volatile compounds, and firmness of melon cv. Meloni and Tacapa Green Black during 20 days of storage at a temperature of 21°C. Based on respiration rate measurement, melon cv. Meloni and cv. Tacapa Green Black are classified into climacteric and non-climacteric fruit, respectively. The volatile compounds were extracted using solvent extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It identified more than seventy volatile compounds in melon cv. Meloni, whereas only 20 volatile compounds were found in cv. Tacapa Green Black at harvest time and altered during storage. Melon cv. Meloni has a highly aromatic volatile compound but short shelf life according to firmness. Whereas cv. Tacapa Green Black could be stored until 20 days in form shape but lacking volatile compounds. Melon cv. Meloni and cv. Tacapa Green Black has good potential and could be a promising commercial horticultural product.

The goal of this study was to characterize the bacterial diversity on different melon varieties grown in different regions of the US, and determine the influence that region, rind netting, and variety of melon has on the composition of the melon microbiome. Assessing the bacterial diversity of the microbiome on the melon rind can identify antagonistic and protagonistic bacteria for foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms to improve melon safety, prolong shelf-life, and/or improve overall plant health. Bacterial community composition of melons (n = 603) grown in seven locations over a four-year period were used for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and analysis to identify bacterial diversity and constituents. Statistically significant differences in alpha diversity based on the rind netting and growing region (p < 0.01) were found among the melon samples. Principal Coordinate Analysis based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity distance matrix found that the melon bacterial communities clustered more by region rather than melon variety (R2 value: 0.09 & R2 value: 0.02 respectively). Taxonomic profiling among the growing regions found Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae, Microbacteriaceae, and Pseudomonadaceae present on the different melon rinds at an abundance of ≥ 0.1%, but no specific core microbiome was found for netted melons. However, a core of Pseudomonadaceae, Bacillaceae, and Exiguobacteraceae were found for non-netted melons. The results of this study indicate that bacterial diversity is driven more by the region that the melons were grown in compared to rind netting or melon type. Establishing the foundation for regional differences could improve melon safety, shelf-life, and quality as well as the consumers’ health.

The domestic market for melons, Cucumis melo L., has not been well characterized. The 2011 cantaloupe-related foodborne illness outbreak reduced melon production by 32%, and per capita consumption of cantaloupe and honeydew melons has not recovered. Our objective was to profile and characterize consumer segments of individuals who purchased melons in the 3 months before the survey. Responses from 1718 participants were analyzed by consumption volume and subjected to cluster analysis based on importance of melon attributes. Heavy and moderate consumers preferred local melons over imported. The top four melon attributes were flavor, freshness, ripeness, and sweetness. As consumption increased, consumers placed more importance for their diets. The heaviest consumption group accounted for 22% of the market, and consumed nearly three times the melon servings per month compared with the moderate consumer, and nearly 10 times the servings of the light consumption group. Cluster analysis produced three distinct clusters. Cluster 1 was the most promelon in attitudes and consumption, as well as general health interest, craving sweet food, food pleasure, and variety seeking in foods. The largest segment was cluster 3 and was the ideal group for future targeting of marketing and advertising campaigns for increasing the melon market share with their intermediate consumption and promelon attitudes. Last, members of cluster 2 consumed the lowest amount of melons, spent the least on melons, and traveled the fewest number of miles to purchase them, relative to the other two segments.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the requirement of melon yield, the cultivated seeds are overused with pesticides during the melon planting process, and the population characteristics are not considered, resulting in serious soil pesticide pollution during the melon planting process. Therefore, this study proposes an organic ecological pollution-free cultivation technology of melon considering population characteristics. The population characteristics of melon crops were determined by DNA molecular marker technology. On this basis, the organic ecotype pollution-free matrix of melon crops was formulated, and the bulk density, total porosity and aeration porosity of the matrix were determined. The MNL model method was used to control the spraying amount of melon cultivation, and the light condition of the melon growing environment was determined by the leaf fluorescence of melon crops. There were significant differences in plant height, stem diameter and leaf area between melons grown in the studied substrate and common soil. With the change of planting days, the height of the melon grown in this technology was always higher than that of the melon grown in common soil, and the maximum value was about 20 cm. As planting days changed, the stem thickness of melon crops grown with the substrate was initially lower than that of common soil, but quickly exceeded the thickness of common soil over time. The surface areas of the third and fourth leaves of the melon crops grown according to this technology varied with the days of planting. Early differences between the two substrates were not significant. However, in later stages, melons grow faster. In the early stage of melon production, the chlorophyll content of pollution-free cultivation was higher than that of common cultivation methods. The flowering period was the period with the highest chlorophyll content in both cultivation techniques. However, the highest content of melon chlorophyll under this technology was about 2.0 mg, and the highest content of melon chlorophyll under common cultivation technology was about 1.4 mg, which verifies the effectiveness of the method. It has been verified that pollution-free cultivation technology can effectively improve the growth efficiency of melon crops and ensure the quality of melon cultivation.

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.

Melon, as a melon crop, is cultivated in many countries of the world, and is highly valued for its dietary and nutritional qualities. Melon's susceptibility to fungal diseases drastically reduces the yield and taste of the melon. In the zone of the Volgograd Trans-Volga region, melon is mainly affected by anthracnose and powdery mildew. Obtaining samples with complex resistance to these diseases solves the problem of production and product quality. Complex resistance was determined by artificial infection of melon plants, as well as in natural conditions. 4 hybrid combinations of melons were studied against the background of the standard cultivar Osen. As a result of the research, a hybrid combination of melon Dune × Ponap (Japan) F1 was isolated, which showed complex resistance both under artificial infection and in natural conditions.

Melon is one of the horticultural commodities with relatively high economic value and is profitable to cultivate as a source of income for farmers. With the increasing demand for melons, melons are widely cultivated in Bengkulu. Pests and diseases are one of the most disturbing problems in melon cultivation. Plant parasitic nematodes are one of the pests of melon plants that are not paid enough attention to by farmers due to a lack of knowledge about nematodes. Losses caused by nematode attacks on melon plants resulted in decreased production. Information about the types of nematodes is crucial to design an effective control strategy. This study aims to identify the diversity and density of nematode populations on melon plants in the city of Bengkulu. Observation of nematode attacks was carried out directly by observing all parts of the melon plant, especially the roots, and identifying and counting nematode populations. Observation parameters included attack symptoms, types of nematodes, and nematode population densities. This research has been carried out with the results: Symptoms of attack on the ground: stunted plants, languishing, quickly wilted. The symptoms of attack in the soil: Root galls, root wounds, and root rot. There are four types of nematodes, namely Genus: Paratylenchus sp, Meloidogyne spp., Rotylenchulus sp., and Helicotylenchus sp., Paratylenchus sp. population density 131.6; Meloidogyne spp. 86.5 Rotylenchulus sp. 69.7 and Helicotylenchus sp. 47.8.

When asked to rate seeded and seedless melons on a 1 to 10 scale after tasting samples, consumers rated the seedless melon 7.35 and the seeded melon 7.01. There were no practical differences among the six locations studied. With the difficulties in growing seedless melons and greater costs of production, growers and marketers need to assess carefully the market potential for seedless watermelons and plan a merchandising strategy to differentiate seedless from seeded melons. Our studies indicated a slight eating quality preference for seedless melons.

Full textAbstract:
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a protected crop in China with high economic value. Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is a powerful tool to improve agronomic traits and obtain elite germplasm. However, current transformation protocols in melons are inefficient and highly genotype-dependent. To improve transformation in melon, we tested different infiltration methods for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among these methods, micro-brushing and sonication for 20 s, followed by vacuum infiltration at −1.0 kPa for 90 s, resulted in the strongest green fluorescent protein signal and increased the proportion of infected explants. We transformed melon with developmental regulatory genes AtGRF5, AtPLT5, AtBBM, AtWUS, AtWOX5, and AtWIND1 from Arabidopsis and estimated regeneration frequencies as the number of regenerating shoots/total number of inoculated explants in the selection medium. The overexpression of AtGRF5 and AtPLT5 in melon resulted in transformation efficiencies of 42.3% and 33% in ZHF and 45.6% and 32.9% in Z12, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control. AtGRF5 and AtPLT5 expression cassettes were added to CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing vectors to obtain transgenic phytoene desaturase CmPDS knockout mutants. Using AtGRF5 or AtPLT5, multi-allelic mutations were observed at CmPDS target sites in recalcitrant melon genotypes. This strategy enables genotype-flexible transformation and promotes precise genome modification technologies in melons.

As the most important melon cultivar grown in the north-western provinces of China, Hami melon (Cucumis melo) produces large edible fruits that serve as an important dietary component in the world. In general, as a climacteric plant, melon harvested at 60% maturity results in a product with bad quality, while the highest-quality product can be guaranteed when harvesting at 90% maturity. In order to clarify the genetic basis of their distinct profiles of metabolite accumulation, we performed systematic transcriptome analyses between 60% and 90% maturity melons. A total of 36 samples were sequenced and over 1.7 billion reads were generated. Differentially expressed genes in 60% and 90% maturity melons were detected. Hundreds of these genes were functionally enriched in the sucrose and citric acid accumulation process of C. melo. We also detected a number of distinct splicing events between 60% and 90% maturity melons. Many genes associated with sucrose and citric acid accumulation displayed as differentially expressed or differentially spliced between different degrees of maturity of Hami melons, including CmCIN2, CmSPS2, CmBGAL3, and CmSPS2. These results demonstrate that the phenotype pattern differences between 60% and 90% maturity melons may be largely resulted from the significant transcriptome regulation.

Melon is very popular among Indonesians because of its sweet taste and rich in nutrients and also very potential as export comodities. Every export comodities including melon need proper handlings of quarantine to disinfestation pests / diseases. One of quarantine technique which is appliable for melon is vapor heat treatment (VHT). Aims of this research are to make a simulation of heat distribution during VHT process inside melons, to observe VHT technique effects on melon qualities during storage, and to determine the optimum time of VHT process for melon. Finite difference method is used in designing the simulation using Visual Basic 6.0. To observe melon qualities, this research used complete randomized design (CRD) with 4 level of treatment based on VHT process duration which was 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and control every 4 days for 24 days. The result showed that finite difference method can be used for simulating heat distribution inside melon during VHT with coefficient determination (R2) value of 0.9903. Beside that, the result also showed that there were no signifficant difference between each treatments. Based on these results, VHT with 46.5oC temperature and 10 minutes duration time considered as the best treatment.

AbstractMelon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important vegetable crop worldwide. Karnataka state of southern India is rich in melon landraces and wild relatives, which are potential sources of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Here we report on the collection, characterization and documentation of previously unexplored landrace and wild material to broaden the availability of this genetic diversity for use in melon improvement. Accessions of botanical groups, momordica, kachri, chandalak, reticulatus, acidulus and indicus, intermediate forms of acidulus and momordica, and three melons of an unknown group were sourced directly from farmers of eight agro-ecological regions. Twenty-three representative melon landraces and wild relatives, along with four reference varieties of different botanical groups, were evaluated for agronomic traits during the year 2016. Very wide and distinctive genetic variations were observed among the melon accessions for ovary characters, sex expression, days taken to first fruit maturity, external and internal fruit traits, and fruit cracking (splitting). The remarkable variability displayed among the melon accessions as observed from the study demonstrates the importance of them as a valuable genetic reservoir for melon improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Fruit rind patterns are vital commercial quality traits in melon, in which the spotted or striped fruit rinds contribute to the commercial value of melon and can directly affect the choice of consumers. Although the spotted or non-spotted fruit rind pattern was studied in several cultivated melon accessions, the inheritance and regulating locus of this trait in wild melons are still unknown. Therefore, in this study, the inheritance and regulating loci of the green spotted fruit rind in a wild melon accession XNM020 were explored with F2 segregating populations derived from crossing between XNM020 and a cultivated melon XNM125. Segregating ratios of phenotypic data indicated that the green spotted fruit rind in XNM020 has a monogenic dominant inheritance. BSA-Seq showed that two potential genomic regions on chromosomes 4 (from 0.00 to 2.97 Mb) and 5 (from 0.00 to 2.34 Mb) regulate the formation of the green spotted fruit rind in wild melon XNM020. According to the annotations of polymorphic SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) and small InDels (insertions and deletions) in target genomic regions and the predicted gene functions, four genes MELO3C003316, MELO3C003375, MELO3C003388, and MELO3C014660 regulating chloroplast development or chlorophyll biosynthesis may be the best candidate genes. The results of this study enriched the inheritances of spotted fruit rinds in melon and also provided target genomic regions for marker-assisted selection breeding of melon focusing on fruit rinds.

The quantitative distribution of volatile compounds in the different oriental melon varieties and in the different parts of oriental melon was investigated. Volatile compounds were extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fifty-four compounds were identified including 33 esters, 3 thioesters, 7 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 1 acid, 1 ketone and 1 phenol, among which esters were found to be the major constituents in ripe oriental melon. The results showed that ethyl acetate, sulfur-containing esters and compounds containing a straight nine-carbon chain were present at high concentrations in oriental melons, particularly acetic acid phenylmethyl ester. The majority of ester compounds of oriental melon decreased and the aldehyde compounds increased after storage at -20 °C and the distribution of volatiles was also found to be different in the umbilicus, middle and pedicel of an oriental melon Qitian 1 according to their carbon chain length and quantity.

Melon is a type of fruit that has a high water content. High water content causes limited fruit storage, therefore it is necessary to preserve it to maintain the freshness of the melon. One method that can maintain the freshness of the fruit is edible coating. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of organolepic melons given starch-based edible coatings from several types of tubers, namely cassava, canna, and lesser yam. This study used factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor is the difference in CMC with a concentration of 1% and 1.5%. The second factor is the difference in glycerol with a concentration of 1% and 3%. The results of the study based on the ANOVA test showed that the type of starch treatment and the concentration between treatments did not have a significant effect on the texture, color, and aftertaste of the melon, but significantly affected the taste and aroma of the melon. So it can be concluded that from all edible coating formulations, panelists preferred the PS I formulation (cassava starch) with 1% CMC concentration and 1% glycerol.Keywords: cassava, canna, edible coating, lesser yam, melons

Extending the production season of melons (Cucumis melo L.) by using very early and late planting dates outside the range that is commercially recommended will increase the likelihood of developing a stronger melon industry in South Carolina. The objective of this study was to determine if early (February) transplanted melons or later (June through July) planting dates are effective in extending the production season of acceptable yields with good internal quality of the melon cultivars: Athena, Eclipse, and Sugar Bowl and Tesoro Dulce (a honeydew melon). Melons were transplanted in Charleston, S.C., in 1998, 1999, and 2000 on 12 and 26 Feb., 12 and 26 Mar., 9 and 23 Apr., 7 and 21 May, 4 and 18 June, and 2 July and required 130, 113, 105, 88, 79, 70, 64, 60, 60, 59, and 56 days from field transplanting to reach mean melon harvest date, respectively. Stands were reduced 67%, 41%, and 22% in the 12 and 26 Feb. and 12 Mar. planting dates, respectively, in contrast to the 26 Mar. planting date but ≤15% in all other planting dates. Planting in February had no earliness advantage because the 12 and 26 Feb. and 12 and 26 Mar. planting dates, all reached mean melon harvest from 19 to 23 June. Comparing the marketable number of melons produced per plot (averaged over cultivar) of the standard planting dates of 12 and 26 Mar. indicated decreases of 21%, 32%, 36%, 36%, 57%, 57%, and 54%, respectively with the planting dates of 9 and 23 Apr., 7 and 21 May, 4 and 18 June, and 2 July. The most productive cultivar of all was `Eclipse', which yielded significantly more melons per plot in all 11 planting dates followed by `Athena' (in 8 of 11 planting dates), `Tesoro Dulce' (7 of 11 planting dates), and `Sugar Bowl' (2 of 11 planting dates). In our study, any planting date with melon quality less than the USDA standard of “good internal quality” or better (Brix ≥9.0) was considered unacceptable because of potential market rejection. Therefore, the earliest recommended planting date with acceptable yield and “good internal quality” was 12 Mar. for all cultivars; the latest planting dates for `Athena', `Eclipse', `Tesoro Dulce', and `Sugar Bowl' were 4 June, 18 June, 7 May, and 9 Apr., respectively. With these recommendations, the harvest season of melons lasted 40 days from 24 June to 3 Aug. for these four cultivars, which extended the production season an additional 2 weeks longer than the harvest date of last recommended 21 May planting date.

Full textAbstract:
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 that the <em>CmAIN2</em> and <em>CmSUS1 </em>primer sets are specific, and only one band of PCR product is obtained from all tested samples. The quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay is applied to compare the transcript levels of the <em>CmAIN2</em> and <em>CmSUS1 </em>genes in fruit tissues of the Canary and the Vietnamese non-sweet melons. Consistent with the sweetness levels, the <em>CmAIN2 </em>and <em>CmSUS1 </em>transcript levels are higher in the Canary melon than those in the non-sweet melon. These results imply that the local sugar metabolism in the fruits may also play an essential role in determining fruit sweetness. In addition, practically, the transcript levels of the <em>CmAIN2 </em>and <em>CmSUS1 </em>genes can be accessed and used to predict the sweetness of melon fruits early.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in specialty melons (Cucumis melo) with distinctive fruit characteristics has grown in the United States in recent years. However, disease management remains a major challenge in specialty melon production. In this study, grafting experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of using Cucumis metulifer, a species known for its genetic resistance to root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.), as a potential rootstock for managing RKNs in susceptible specialty melon cultivars. In the greenhouse experiment, honeydew melon ‘Honey Yellow’ was grafted onto C. metulifer and inoculated with M. incognita race 1. The grafted plants exhibited significantly lower gall and egg mass indices and fewer eggs compared with non- and self-grafted ‘Honey Yellow’. Cucumis metulifer was further tested as a rootstock in conventional and organic field trials using honeydew melon ‘Honey Yellow’ and galia melon ‘Arava’ as scions. ‘Honey Yellow’ and ‘Arava’ grafted onto C. metulifer exhibited significantly lower galling and reduced RKN population densities in the organic field; however, total and marketable fruit yields were not significantly different from non- and self-grafted plants. Although the improvement of RKN resistance did not translate into yield enhancements, incorporating grafted specialty melons with C. metulifer rootstock into double-cropping systems with RKN-susceptible vegetables may benefit the overall crop production by reducing RKN population densities in the soil. At the conventional field site, which was not infested with RKNs, ‘Honey Yellow’ grafted onto C. metulifer rootstock had a significantly lower total fruit yield than non-grafted ‘Honey Yellow’ plants; however, fruit yields were similar for ‘Arava’ grafted onto C. metulifer rootstock and non-grafted ‘Arava’ plants. Although no significant impacts on the fruit quality attributes of ‘Honey Yellow’ were observed, grafting onto C. metulifer decreased the flesh firmness of ‘Arava’ in both field trials and resulted in a reduction in total soluble solids content under conventional production. In summary, grafting RKN-susceptible melons onto C. metulifer rootstock offers promise for growing these specialty melons; however, more studies are needed to elucidate the scion–rootstock interaction effect on fruit yield and quality.

An experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of grafting and deficit irrigation on yield of melon grown under different water stress conditions. The plant materials used in the study were Ünlü melon grafted on the rootstock of Ferro melon and ungrafted Ünlü melon species. Water was applied at the level of 80, 60 and 40% of the water applied to the full irrigation level (I100=100%). Grafting significantly affected the fruit number of the plants. The fruit number in the ungrafted applications was higher than that in the grafted applications. Effects of grafting application and irrigation level on fruit weight was significant. The fruit weight in the ungrafted applications was higher than that in the grafted applications. Outcome indicated that there was no significant loss in yield, fruit number, or fruit weight of melons under application of 20% water deficit to the plants. Findings also revealed that the amount of irrigation water for melon cultivation can be safely reduced by 20% under Mediterranean climate conditions. Bangladesh J. Bot. 52(4): 925-932, 2023 (December)
