Cytological Studies of Some Varieties of Musk Melon with Special Reference to their Relationship

Cytogenetical studies on dessert and non-dessert forms of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)

“…Cytologists have long employed various smear or squash techniques for the study of small and undifferentiated chromosomes like those of Cucumis species (Whitaker and Bohn 1950, Chandola et al 1965, Trivedi and Roy 1970, Varghese 1973, Dane and Tsuchiya 1976. The cytological techniques standardised in the present study is effective and significant since it gives chromosome preparations with better clarity and differentiation.…”

On morphology and taxonomy of the genera Cucumis L. and Melo MILL

“…The presence of satellite chromosomes (not 1924/1925, 1929ARARATJAN 1939; more than 2 pairs) is a peculiar character of the CHANDOLA et al 1965;ASHURMETOV 1974; ASmelon genome. There are chromosomes with HuRMETOV & DZEVALTOVSKIJ 1975).…”
