동시증류추출장치를 사용하여 획득한 수박(Citrullus vulgaris S.)과 참외(Cucumis melo L.)의 휘발성 향기성분을 기체크로마토그래피로 분리하여 질량분석법으로 동정하였다. 수박에서 분리동정된 37종의 화합물로는 16종의 alcohol 류, 15종의 aldehyde 류, 2종의 ester류, 2종의 ketone 류와 기타 2종의 화합물이 확인되었다. 전체 상대적 농도의 68.66%를 차지한 alcohol 류가 수박의 주요 향기성분이었으며, 불포화 $C_{9}$ 화합물인 (Z)-3-nonen-1-ol, (Z,Z)-nonadien-1-ol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-nonenal이 특징적 향기성분으로 나타났다. 참외에서 분리동정된 55종의 화합물로는 26종의 ester 류, 16종의 alcohol 류, 10종의 aldehyde 류와 기타 3종의 화합물이 확인되었으며, 전체 상대적 농도의 63.8%를 차지한 ester류가 참외의 주요 향기 성분으로 나타났다. 이 중에서 (Z)-3-nonenyl acetate, (Z)-6-nonenyl acetate와 (Z,Z)-3,6-nonadienyl acetate, $C_{9}$-불포화 ester 류가 중요한 향기성분이었으며, 황함유 ester 류인 ethyl (methylthio)acetate, ethyl 3-(methylthio) propanoate 또한 참외의 향기에 중요한 역할을 하는 화합물이었다.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential of oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Makino) seeds for the management of type 2 diabetes by controlling glucose absorption. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory effects of the hexane extracts from oriental melon seeds were investigated. A bioassay-guided fractionation technique was used to elucidate the principal active components. The results show that the hexane extract from oriental melon seeds exhibited high inhibitory activities against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. The hexane extract was further fractionated into four sub-fractions. Among them, the sub-fraction F-1 exhibited the most potent anti-diabetic effect. The active components were isolated and identified by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Free fatty acids showed significant hypoglycemic activity (p < 0.001) and fatty acid composition influenced enzyme inhibitory activities. These results suggest that oriental melon seeds could be used to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Influence of soil temperature [accumulated degree-day for the base temperature $5^{\circ}$($\textrm{DD}_5$)] on the development of Meloidogyne arenaria were studied in a winter grown oriental melon greenhouse in Seongju, Korea. Egg masses were first observed on roots at the accumulation of 565 $\textrm{DD}_5$(40 days after transplanting), suggesting that the nematode has completed the first generation in 40 days. Second-stage juveniles (J2) densities were lowest at 863 $\textrm{DD}_5$ in April, first increased at 1,334 $\textrm{DD}_5$ in May, peaked at 2,951 $\textrm{DD}_5$ in July, and decliner thereafter. Development of egg masses and J2 density in soil revealed that M. arenaria could develop in 7-8 generations in a year in the greenhouse. Degree-day monitoring, therefore, could aid to predict nematode development in soil and can be valuable tool a to develop root-knot nematode control strategies.

Oriental melon, Cucumis melo L. cv. Geumssaragieuncheon, grafted on Shintozoa (Cucurbit maxima ${\times}$ Cu. moschata) was planted in a greenhouse infested with Meloidogyne arenaria and root galls were examined five months after planting. A gram of root gall was volumed at ca. 10 cm3 and contained in an average of 363 females (170 developing and 193 matured females), 2,120 secondstage juveniles (J2), and 13,074 eggs. In addition, there was 56 J2 per $cm^3$ soil around the infested plant. An oriental melon had an average of 134.6 g of root gall (70% of total root weight) per 0.72 $m^2$ area. In a conservative estimation, an oriental melon plant could accommodate ca. 1.2 ${\times}$ $10^7$ eggs and J2 per 0.72 $m^2$. The eggs contained in root tissues could be an important inoculum source to the next crop and the fate of these eggs are well worth further investigation.

본 연구는 저장 중 참외(Cucumis melo var. makuwa)의 품질 개선 효과를 보기 위하여 일반 골판지 박스로 포장한 무처리 대조구, 아이스 팩을 첨가하여 포장한 시험구, 및 아이스 팩과 알루미늄 코팅 보드로 처리된 박스로 포장한 시험구를 각각 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 참외의 품질변화는 $30^{\circ}C$의 저장 조건에서 21일 동안 저장 기간에 따른 참외의 호흡률, 중량감소율, 색도, 경도, 당도, 외관 품질 및 부패과 발생율로 관찰하였다. 저장 21일째 아이스 팩을 첨가한 포장 그리고 아이스 팩 및 알루미늄 코팅 보드를 적용한 포장으로 저장한 참외는 호흡률, 중량감소율, 및 색도, 및 경도 값의 지연으로 뛰어난 선도 유지 효과를 나타냈을 뿐만 아니라 특히 외관품질, 부패과 발생율을 감소시켜 상품성이 유지 효과를 보았다. 반면 참외의 가용성 고형분 함량 값은 각각 다른 형태로 적용한 포장에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 아이스 팩과 알루미늄 코팅 보드를 적용한 박스로 포장한 참외는 아이스 팩으로 만 포장한 참외 보다 상대적으로 품질이 개선되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 골판지 박스 내부에 아이스 팩의 적용은 참외 과실이 품고 있는 온도를 낮출 뿐만 아니라 알루미늄 코팅 보드는 외부 고온 환경으로 부터 온도 차단 효과로 포장 내부의 온도 상승에 따른 빠른 품질 변화를 막을 수 있는 역할을 한다고 판단된다.

참외 종자의 기능성을 규명하는 연구의 일환으로 항암활성을 조사하고자 하였다. 추출용매에 따른 항암활성을 조사하고자 헥산, 에탄올, 물 등 다양한 추출용매를 사용하여 참외 종자 추출물을 제조하였고, 가공에 따른 활성 증진효과를 알아보기 위해 볶음 처리하였다. 볶음 처리한 참외 종자는 볶음 처리하지 않은 종자보다 활성이 2~4배까지 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 추출용매에 따른 활성은 에탄올 추출물, 헥산 추출물, 물 추출물 순으로 항암활성이 나타났다. 인체 유래 5종(MCF-7, A549, AGS, HT-29, HepG2) 암 세포주를 이용하여 항암 활성의 조직 특이성을 알아보고자 하였다. 참외 볶음 종자 에탄올 추출물이 간암 세포주인 HepG2세포와 유방암 세포주인 MCF-7 세포에서 우수한 항암활성을 보여주었다. 용매분획법을 실시하여 제조한 분획물의 경우 에탄올 추출물보다 활성이 증가하였고, 비극성 분획물인 에칠아세테이트층이 극성 분획물인 부탄올층 보다 강한 항암활성을 보여주었다. 이상의 연구결과, 참외 볶음종자가 간암과 유방암 예방 및 치료 소재로서 개발될 가치가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Surveys of yellowing viruses in plastic tunnels and in open field crops of melon (Cucumis melo cultivar catalupo), oriental melon (C. melo cultivar oriental melon), and cucumber (C. sativus) were carried out in two melon-growing areas in 2014, Korea. Severe yellowing symptoms on older leaves of melon and chlorotic spots on younger leaves of melon were observed in the plastic tunnels. The symptoms were widespread and included initial chlorotic lesions followed by yellowing of whole leaves and thickening of older leaves. RT-PCR analysis using total RNA extracted from diseased leaves did not show any synthesized products for four cucurbit-infecting viruses; Beet pseudo-yellows virus, Cucumber mosaic virus, Cucurbit yellows stunting disorder virus, and Melon necrotic spot virus. Virus identification using RT-PCR showed Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows Virus (CABYV) was largely distributed in melon, oriental melon and cucumber. This result was verified by aphid (Aphis gossypii) transmission of CABYV. The complete coat protein (CP) gene amplified from melon was cloned and sequenced. The CP gene nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequence comparisons as well as phylogenetic tree analysis of CABYV CPs showed that the CABYV isolates were undivided into subgroups. Although the low incidence of CABYV in infections to cucurbit crops in this survey, CABYV may become an important treat for cucurbit crops in many different regions in Korea, suggesting that CABYV should be taken into account in disease control of cucurbit crops in Korea.

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa) is one of six subspecies of melon and is cultivated widely in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. Although oriental melon is economically valuable in Asia and is genetically distinct from other subspecies, few reports of genome-scale research on oriental melon have been published. We generated 30.5 and 36.8 Gb of raw RNA sequence data from the female and male flowers, leaves, roots, and fruit of two oriental melon varieties, Korean landrace (KM) and Breeding line of NongWoo Bio Co. (NW), respectively. From the raw reads, 64,998 transcripts from KM and 100,234 transcripts from NW were de novo assembled. The assembled transcripts were used to identify molecular markers (e.g., single-nucleotide polymorphisms and simple sequence repeats), detect tissue-specific expressed genes, and construct a genetic linkage map. In total, 234 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and 25 simple sequence repeats were screened from 7,871 and 8,052 candidates, respectively, between the KM and NW varieties and used for construction of a genetic map with 94 F2 population specimens. The genetic linkage map consisted of 12 linkage groups, and 248 markers were assigned. These transcriptome and molecular marker data provide information useful for molecular breeding of oriental melon and further comparative studies of the Cucurbitaceae family.

Recently, a severe slime mold infestation affected oriental melon plants in fields in Chilgok county, Gyeongbuk province, Korea. Specimens were collected from the fields and examined for identification. A species of Myxomycetes, Fuligo gyrosa, was identified based on its morphological characteristics. This is the first report that F. gyrosa causes slime mold of oriental melon.
