在已报道的52种黄瓜属植物中，黄瓜和甜瓜是最重要的种类，被人类广泛种植用于消费。在印度的野生黄瓜属物种中已经报道了多样性。考虑到黄瓜属各物种变异性的遗传侵蚀状况，通过在印度西北部Aravalli山脉部分地区的三次探索，共收集了5种不同黄瓜属物种的121份种质。本文介绍了这些甜瓜属植物的分布、采集、变异程度、相关的土著传统知识、保护现状及其在作物改良中的应用前景。
Among the 52 species reported in Cucumis, cucumber and muskmelon are the most important species, extensively cultivated by the human for consumption. Diversity has been reported in the wild species of Cucumis from India. Considering the status of genetic erosion of the variability in the various species of Cucumis, a total of 121 germplasm accessions of five different Cucumis species were collected through three explorations in the parts of Aravalli ranges of northwestern India. The paper presents the distribution, collection, extent of variability, associated indigenous traditional knowledge, conservation status of these Cucumis species and prospects of their utilization in crop improvement.
