| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To analyze melon fruit traits in seed remains, we developed DNA markers in CmOr and CmPH, determine to pulp color and acid taste, respectively. By using the DNA markers in analysis of melon seed remains, it was thought that melon fruits with green- or white-pulp color and low acid, some melons may be sweet, were preferred around the Osaka Castle, where commercial town had been developed in the 17th century, and related to modern traditional melon varieties in Japan, vars. makuwa and conomon. The DNA marker will be applied for the future study to concern social and political condition, and preference, which associate with crop selection.
