BACKGROUND: This paper characterizes the quality traits at harvest and the changes
associated with fruit senescence based on fruit physiological behaviour (climacteric or non …

A set of near-isogenic lines (NILs) of melon (Cucumis melo L.) was used to test the
relationship between the climacteric pattern and postharvest disorders at harvest and after …

This paper characterizes the changes in aroma volatiles associated with fruit senescence
based on the climacteric or non-climacteric behavior found in a collection of near-isogenic …

A near-isogenic line (NIL) SC3-5 and a further nine NILs of melon contained introgressions
of an exotic non-climacteric accession of Cucumis melo 'Shongwan Charmi'[SC (PI 161375) …

Postharvest disorders and rots can produce important economic losses in fruits stored for
long time for exportation. The genetic and physiological basis of some disorders in melon …

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the sensory and general quality of four different
melon cultivars (Cucumis melo L.) immediately after harvest and at the end of storage and …

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a perishable fruit that requires refrigeration to extend its shelf
life. Postharvest behavior differs substantially among melon varieties due to genetic …

A physical-chemical characterization, followed by the measurement of biochemical traits,
was performed on two novel mini-watermelon varieties,'Cuoredolce®'and 'Rugby', selected …

Six inodorus melon cultivars (Cucumis melo L., Inodorus Group, Naud., cv. Amarelo, Golden
Casaba, Honeydew, Honey Loupe, Juan Canary, and Paceco) were harvested at …

In two consecutive seasons the firmness of 13–15 near-isogenic lines (NILs) of melons
(Cucumis melo L.) was followed during storage at 21° C. Firmness was measured using non …
