Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Africa is rich in wild species of Cucumis and is considered one of the places of origin of melon. However, our knowledge of African melon is limited, and genetic studies using melon germplasms with wide geographical coverage are required. Here, we analysed the genetic structure of African melons, with emphasis on Sudan. METHODS: Ninety-seven accessions of African melon were examined along...
