abstract:
During a collecting mission in Corsica (France) three landraces of citron melon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. et Nakai subsp. lanatus var. citroides (Bailey) Mansf. ex Greb.) were collected in the northern areas. Today in Corsica this old and neglected crop is in decline and risks extinction. A strategy for its characterization and safeguarding is in progress at the genebank of IGV of Bari (Italy).
