摘要
• Melon displays an extensive variability for its fleshy fruits. • Significant milestones are achieved in the melon research based on the transitions in the breeding technologies. • We reviewed the advancements in the melon breeding. Melon ( Cucumis melo L.) a member of family Cucurbitaceae is extensively cultivated for its fleshy fruits. Dependent upon the agroclimatic zones of cultivation along with the local preferences, melon displays substantial variability for phenotypic and biochemical attributes. Melon breeding has attained serious milestones throughout the prior century, and we hope this trend goes on to persist. However, experiments have to understand new genetic information for genes associated with the challenges imposed by climate change. The identification of useful genetic and metabolic variability in the form of landraces and wild relatives is helping for harvest diversification and broadening of the cultivated melon genetic base. Whereas significant information on melon genomics, and melon metabolomics, is advantageous for dissecting the inheritance of quintessential traits. Overall, this manuscript summarized details on development in melon breeding we hope this manuscript will act as an important resource for the melon breeders.
