Abstract
‘Piel de Sapo’ is one of the most consumed market class of melons in the Mediterranean area and it represents an important economic crop in Spain. The ‘Mini PS’ melon breeding line, which bears two main introgressions from the dudaim ‘Queen’s pocket’ melon in the Piel de Sapo genetic background, was evaluated for its fruit quality traits in three environments. Some interesting commercial characteristics were detected, such as a notable decrease in the fruit weight and a rounder shape, compared with Piel de Sapo, while the other quality traits were not altered. Thus, this mini melon line, ideal as a personal melon, may be useful in the development of new melon cultivars.
“Piel de Sapo”是地中海地区消费最多的市场瓜类之一,它代表了西班牙重要的经济作物。以Piel de Sapo遗传背景下的杜达姆“女王口袋”甜瓜为主要遗传基因的“Mini PS”甜瓜选育品系,在3种环境下对其果实品质性状进行了评价。与Piel de Sapo相比,发现了一些有趣的商业特征,如果实重量明显减少,形状更圆,而其他品质性状没有改变。因此,这一小型甜瓜系作为一种理想的个人甜瓜,可能对培育甜瓜新品种有用。
