The disclosure relates to melon variety NUN 71008 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 71008 MEM is a honeydew melon variety comprising resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis Race 0 and Race 2.

The present disclosure provides Cucumis melo inbred line CHA-ZA15-001AN. The present disclosure also provides methods to select, produce, and grow these plants, parts of such plants, and products made from those parts. The disclosure also includes progeny of the provided plants including hybrid and inbred lines.

The present invention provides novel melon plants and plant parts, seed, fruit, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a melon plant by crossing the melon plants of the invention with themselves or another melon plant. The invention also provides plants produced from such a crossing as well as plant parts, seed, fruit, and tissue culture therefrom.

The invention provides seed and plants of melon line HAR-DV15-4299MO. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of melon line HAR-DV15-4299MO and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of melon line HAR-DV15-4299MO comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present invention relates to novel melon plants producing fruits displaying a combination of a long shelf-life trait as well as a maturity indicator trait. The present invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The present invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The present invention also relates to novel genetic sequences associated with a rind-turning phenotype at maturity, which, when combined with a long shelf-life allele, significantly alters the characteristics of the maturing melon fruit, functions as a reliable maturity indicator while retaining suitable marketable features and results in a novel melon plant type.

The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SVMF8179 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF8179 and the parent lines thereof and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF8179, melon line CAN-DV16-4369MO, and melon line CAN-DV17-4426AN comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

A novel hybrid cantaloupe plant designated DEPUTY is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of hybrid cantaloupe designated DEPUTY, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid cantaloupe designated DEPUTY, and to methods for producing a cantaloupe plant by crossing the hybrid cantaloupe DEPUTY with itself or another cantaloupe plant.

A new and distinct melon variety NUN 71510 MEM is disclosed as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 71510 MEM is a Honey Dew melon variety of the Dino type, comprising intermediate resistance to Podosphaera xanthii Race 1.

A Cucumis melo plant, wherein the plant homozygously includes in its genome a mutant allele of the staygreen (sgr) gene on chromosome 9, wherein the mutant allele of the sgr gene includes at least one loss-of-function mutation in comparison to the sequence of a wild-type sgr allele (SEQ ID NO:1) and wherein the mutant allele of the sgr gene confers rind color stability to the fruits of the plant at maturity and/or during post-harvest, in comparison with an isogenic non-long shelf life (non-LSL) Cucumis melo plant which does not include the mutant allele. This further relates to parts, cells and seeds of the plants, as well as related methods and processes.

The present invention is directed to Cucurbitaceae plants comprising reduced susceptibility to downy mildew due to the modification of a susceptibility gene of the plant.
