Abstract

Cucumis melo L. var . agrestis Naud. belong to the genus Cucumis in the Gourd family, it is rich in oil. It can extract high quality edible oil and provide raw materials for medicine and food industry. The chloroplast genome of Cucumis melo L. was sequenced for the first time. The results showed that the chloroplast genome of Cucumis melo L. was similar to that of common melon. This study can provide a theoretical reference for breeding.

Highlights

Field Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. agrestis Naud.) belongs to the Cucumis of the family Cucurbitaceae, wild weeds
1.1 Statistics and annotation of chloroplast genome sequencing data Sequencing showed that the GC content of chloroplast genome was 37.45%, Q20 was 96.83% (Table 1)
Homologous and collinear analysis of chloroplast sequences showed that equine melon was consistent with melon and common melon, but different from watermelon and pumpkin in tRNA, few genes

Summary

Introduction

Field Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. agrestis Naud.) belongs to the Cucumis of the family Cucurbitaceae, wild weeds. A number of scholars believe that the Field Muskmelon is the wild ancestor of Chinese oriental thin skin melon (Ma, 2020a). Genetic diversity of local muskmelon varieties in vietnam using chloroplast genome analysis (Phan et al, 2010). Genomic sequence polymorphisms were used to infer diversity and genetic differentiation of cultivated melon (Katsunori et al, 2013). Elaborated the melon chloroplast genome complete sequence and its systematic significance (Hong et al, 2020). The study of chloroplast genome of Field Muskmelon has not been reported. In order to understand the composition of chloroplast genome and the relationship between genes and botanical traits, to provide theoretical and technical basis for breeding genetic improvement, The experiment material, Illumina high - throughput sequencing, The chloroplast genome sequencing of Field Muskmelon was completed
