Diversity among Iranian melon landraces of Groups Flexuosus and Dudaim was studied by analyzing morphological and physiological traits and by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Thirty-one morphological and physiological traits showed significant variation among accessions. Some Flexuosus accessions had typical morphological characters of elongated fruit shape, light skin color, ribs on fruit skin and nonsweet flesh. Characters distinct from in typical accessions, such as short fruits, dark green skin color, five carpels, sweet flesh, were especially in ribless accessions. Cluster analysis of morphological and physiological characters divided Iranian melon into seven groups. Dudaim (cluster VII) was clearly separated from Flexuosus, in which typical (cluster I) accessions and atypical accessions (clusters III-VI) were grouped separately. The diversity index shown by RAPD was 0.201 in 25 Flexuosus accessions and was rich in genetic diversity. Cluster analysis using RAPD divided Flexuosus accessions into eight subclusters, and clarified genetic similarity between Iranian melon accessions and reference accessions of large-seed type (Groups Inodorus and Cantalupensis). These results may suggest that large-seed Flexuosus, Inodorus and Cantalupensis are not differentiated genetically, probably due to spontaneous inter-group hybridization.

“…Immature fruits are harvested and consumed as raw vegetable for salad and for medicinal use. Flexuosus is grown in North Africa, western and central Asia, and India (Pitrat et al 2000) and in Greece . In Iran, it is grown by local farmers in various parts, including in the west.…”

“…Among those species, cucumber is one of the most economically important vegetable crops in the world (Pitrat et al 1999;Acquaah 2012). Several complete chloroplast genome sequences have been reported in cucumber cultivars (Kim et al 2006;Plader et al 2007;Chung et al 2007).…”

Cucumber ( Cucumis sativus var. sativus ) is one of the economically important vegetable crops. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of inbred line ID YHB bred from Korean solid green-type cucumber variety, through de novo assembly using next-generation sequencing. The chloroplast genome is 155,501 bp long and has typical quadripartite structures and gene contents as found in reported cucumber chloroplast genomes. Interestingly, sequence comparison revealed a novel 24-bp deletion present only in the chloroplast genome of the inbred line. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the inbred line was closely grouped with cucumber cultivars.
