Mini-melons go on sale in US
New Scientist, 26August2002
A sweet, seedless watermelon that fits easily in your fridge has been 
created 
by US researchers. The 12-centimetre mini-melons, created by normal 
breeding, have already gone on sale in some parts of the US. 
The mini-melons also have a thinner rind and a uniform flavour 
throughout 
the fruit. In contrast, traditional water-melons tend to concentrate 
the flavour 
in a "sweet spot" in the middle, says John Sorenson of Syngenta Seeds, 
the 
company that has developed the variety at its labs in Boise, Idaho, 
over the 
past four years.
The scientists crossed wild dwarf varieties of melon, found in 
undisclosed 
locations outside the US, with established commercial strains. They 
then bred 
the resulting mini-melons to have thin skins.
