Variation in melon (Cucumis melo) landraces adapted to the humid tropics of southern India (2011, background): “Cultivation of melon dates back to 2000 BC in India, where various types of melons viz. vars. momordica, acidulus, and C. melo var. flexuosus (L.) Naudin are cultivated (Pitrat et al. 2000).”
Diversity among landraces of Indian snapmelon (Cucumis melo var. momordica) (2007, background): “Subsequently, Indian snapmelon accessions PI 124112, PI 134192 and PI 414723 provided resistance to various diseases and pests like fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. fsp. melonis Snyder et Hansen), mildews, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), Cucurbit aphid bo”
Genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships in East and South Asian melons, Cucumis melo L., based on the analysis of five isozymes (2002, unknown): “Pitrat et al. (2000) also proposed to divide the East Asian cultivated melon into three varieties, conomon, makuwa and chinensis.”
Evaluation of genetic diversity in Turkish melons (Cucumis melo L.) based on phenotypic characters and RAPD markers (2007, background): “A large diversity has been observed among melon genotypes and different researchers have classified them into various groupings (Pitrat et al. 2000; Jeffrey 2001).”
