Title: Preliminary observation of introduced melon relatives
Abstract: Several accessions of melon relatives was introduced from NC7 germplasm repository in the U.S.A. in March 2007 to enrich cucurbit germplasm resources in China. The introduced accessions were observed and described during growing period. The results showed that the introduced melon relatives are morphologically distinct from cultivated melons. The introduced accessions can’t be directly used because of their poor fruit characteristics. However,their resistance to diseases and insects can be used and explored for genetic improvement of melon in the future.
