Abstract

Melon (Cucumis melo L., 2n = 24) including oriental melon contains genetically very diverse varieties. Wild and cultivated melon types have been found of different geographical origin and Africa has been proposed as a possible center of the diversity. The domestication of melon might have occurred independently or in parallel in Asia and Africa since nearly 4000 years ago. The high polymorphism of melons has largely derived from the recombinant cultivars between varieties and its open pollination characteristics in nature, which led botanists to propose different infraspecific classifications. Korea has long history of cultivation for oriental melon, with large varieties of landrace and market classes including ‘Geumssaraki’ type. And botanical nomenclature system such as cantalupensis, reticulatus, and makuwa etc. have been used for the variety denomination. But, ever since the introduction of the system, many progresses have been achieved in the field of nomenclature, breeding and molecular genetics, which suggest critical review on the current situation and consideration for establishment of new system. This paper reviews the recent advances related with classification and nomenclature and give some comments for the efficient and scientific description of C. melo species.

참외는 식물분류학상으로는 멜론과 동일하게 Cucumis melo L. (2n=24)에 속한다. 멜론은 전 세계적으로 다양한 지리적 분포와 함께 많은 야생종과 재배종이 알려져 있으며, 아프리카 지역이 종 다양성의 지리적 중심을 이루고 있다. 멜론의 순화는 약 4000년 전 아시아와 아프리카 지역에서 각각 독립적으로 진행되었을 것으로 추정되었다. 멜론 작물의 형태적 다양성은 변종들 간의 혼종과 타가수정 작물로서 자연교잡에 의하여 주로 진행되었으며, 이로 인하여 국내외적으로 종 분류에 혼란이 상존해 왔다. 우리나라는 오랜 참외 재배역사와 함께 다양한 재래종과 ‘금싸라기’로 대표되는 재배종 품종들을 가지고 있다. 참외를 포함한 멜론의 분류명으로는 cantalupensis, reticulatus, makuwa 등의 변종명이 오랫동안 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 최근 새로운 분류체계의 성립과 육종 및 분자유전학의 발달에 따라 많은 논문에서는 cantalupensis와 reticulatus의 분류가 통합되어 칭하여지는 등 현재 우리나라에서 사용되어지고 있는 관행들이 일반적으로 준용되는 국제 기준의 분류 및 명명법과 상호 일치되지 않는 부분들이 발견되고 있다. 본 총설에서는 이에 관한 국내외 기준의 통용성을 확보하는 차원에서, 복잡한 양상을 띠고 있는 C. melo 종들의 분류와 명명법 체계에 대한 발전 내용을 중심으로 최근 논의동향을 살펴보았다.
