Muskmelon
Muskmelon (''Cucumis melo'') is a species of melon that has been developed into many cultivated varieties. These include smooth-skinned varieties such as honeydew, Crenshaw, and casaba, and different netted cultivars (cantaloupe, Persian melon, and Santa Claus or Christmas melon). The Armenian cucumber is also a variety of muskmelon, but its shape, taste, and culinary uses more closely resemble those of a cucumber. The large number of cultivars in this species approaches that found in wild cabbage, though morphological variation is not as extensive. It is a fruit of a type called pepo. Muskmelon is native to Iran, Anatolia and Armenia, with a secondary center including northwest India and Afghanistan. ==Genetics==
Muskmelons are monoecious plants. They do not cross with watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin, or squash, but varieties within the species intercross frequently.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muskmelons Originated in Persia - Archives - Aggie Horticulture )〕 The genome of ''Cucumis melo'' L. was first sequenced in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The genome of melon (Cucumis melo L.) )〕
