It is of interest to refine the taxonomic status of C. melo ssp. agrestis using its plastome data. The chloroplast size and GC% was found to be 1,56,016 bp and 36.92% respectively in Cucumis melo subsp. agrestis. The plastome of C. melo subsp. agrestis comprises of two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,797 bp each. It consisted of 133 genes with 88 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes and 37 tRNA genes. Analysis of the C. melo ssp. agrestis plastome data will help breeders to improve the yield the crop.
利用甜瓜野生变种的质体基因组数据来完善其分类地位很有意义。在甜瓜野生变种中，发现叶绿体大小为156,016碱基对，GC含量分别为36.92%。甜瓜野生变种的质体基因组由两个各为25,797碱基对的反向重复（IR）区域组成。它由133个基因组成，包括88个蛋白质编码基因、8个rRNA基因和37个tRNA基因。对甜瓜野生变种质体基因组数据的分析将有助于育种者提高作物产量。
