<strong>AGRONOMIJAS</strong> VĒSTIS (Latvian Journal of Agronomy), No.10, LLU, 2008genetic interrelations coefficient is close to one, then the melons are genetically distinct. If thecoefficient is close to zero, then the melons are genetically close. (Figure 6).5(2)4(3)!!!Honey DewOrange FleshTendral VerdeNegroJaune Canaris8!Gros PecoudCantaloup deBellegardeFigure 6. Genetic interrelations between melonsTwo lines of Latgale’s melons (5(2); 4(3)!!!) are genetically different from other varieties.The line of Latgale’s melon ‘8!’ is genetically close to the South Europe variety ‘Gros Pecoud’.Lline ‘8!’ also is morphologically distinct from other lines of Latgale’s melons.DiscussionLatgale’s melons till now have not been investigated and compared by using molecularmarkers. Local Latvian genotypes are genetically different from South Europe varieties. Accordingto the molecular data one of Latgale’s melons (8!) is relatively close to the ‘Gros Pecoud’ variety.In cotyledons plant accumulated nutrients and cotyledon size affects further plantdevelopment (Шевелёв, 1996). The South Europe varieties had the bigger cotyledons. Biggercotyledons create the possibility to give the highest results in plant vegetative evolution and inyield (Шевелёв, 1996). But according to future results Latgales melons show highestmeasurements.The storage length of fruits depends on the fruit petiole scar. From the scar it is possible forthe fruit to be infected by different fungal diseases. (Борисова, 1984). Latgale’s melons are lesssuitable for storage. The highest average fruit weight was observed for Latgale’s melon lines. This206
