| book description |

Melon is a major cucurbit crop cultivated on 1.09 million hectares, producing 29.5 million tons. It is grown on nearly every continent, highlighting its significant economic value. Both public and private sectors operate dedicated melon breeding programs focused on crop improvement. This book serves as an essential resource for breeders, geneticists, students, and industry professionals, providing the most up-to-date information to guide melon crop enhancement. Additionally, it also aims to unify the objectives of public and private researchers. The Melon Genome: Designing for NextGen Agriculture presents the latest research as a foundation for future melon crop improvement. Without effective breeding programs, sustaining melon production becomes challenging. This book integrates various aspects of melon breeding, including genetic diversity, genomics, and germplasm resources, for improving yield, quality, and resistance to biotic stresses. Key features: • Wide biodiversity, classes, and molecular diversity exist in melon germplasm. • Utilization of advanced sequencing technologies in melon breeding. • Germplasm resources and strategies for improving the melon crop for various traits. Content for this book has been contributed by eminent scientists who have been engaged in melon research for many decades. This book will be welcomed by scientists aiming to develop the next generation of melon cultivars.
