Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), have long played a major role in
genetic studies due to their typically high polymorphism. They have diverse applications …

The objectives of this study were to determine phenolic content and antioxidant activity of
methanolic extracts from different parts of cantaloupe (leaf, stem, skin, seed and flesh). The …

A significant review of status and availability of genomic resources in horticultural crops can
be utilized for the efficient exploitation of the current research in developing improved …

This paper aims at providing reliable and cost effective genotyping conditions, level of
polymorphism in a range of genotypes and map position of newly developed microsatellite …

Abstract Background Melon, Cucumis melo, and cucumber, C. sativus, are among the most
widely cultivated crops worldwide. Cucumis, as traditionally conceived, is geographically …

Background A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon
(Cucumis melo L.) over the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using …

A set of 118 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers has been developed in melon from two
different sources: genomic libraries (gSSR) and expressed sequence-tag (EST) databases …

Until recently, only a few microsatellites have been available for Cucurbita, thus their
development is highly desirable. The Austrian oil-pumpkin variety Gleisdorfer Ölkürbis (C …

A doubled haploid line (DHL) population of melon derived from a cross between the Korean
cultivar “Songwhan Charmi” accession PI161375 (SC), included in the horticultural group …

Melons, Cucumis melo L., are a familiar crop of the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. Melon
plants are procumbent vines that thrive on heat and sunshine and are grown in fields and …
