title: Momordica Dudaim Pool
organism: Cucumis melo
description: The fourth RNA pool included 7 representatives of three varieties, previously classified in the subsp. melo (dudaim and flexuosus) and agrestis (momordica), but often considered intermediate between both subspecies on the basis of molecular studies (Stepansky et al., 1999; Monforte et al., 2003; Esteras et al., 2009). This group includes cultivated snakemelons consumed immature as cucumbers in Southern Europe, Northern Africa, and Middle East, one known oriental cultivar of mango melon used as ornamental, and snap melons cultigens grown in India.
