		Cucumis melo probably originated in Africa, from which it dispersed in cultivation to Egypt, then to the rest of Europe, China, India, the remainder of Asia, and finally throughout much of the world (Milne and Milne, 1975).
		Cucumis melo is a member of the Cucurbitaceae, a family of about 90 genera and 700 to 760 species, mostly of the tropics (Porter, 1967).
		Although species of Cucumis are commonly cultivated in the Northeastern United States, including Wisconsin, and species are occasional escapes, and are frequently spontaneous in waste ground and on dump heaps, they are not naturalized to the area (Gleason, 1952).

		Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is one of the important horticultural crops worldwide and plays an important role in international trade.
		McCreight and Staub (1993), while agreeing with the theory that Africa is the centre of melon origin, referred to the primary centre of melon diversity as southwest and central Asia—mainly Turkey, Syria, Iran, Afganistan, India, Turkmenistan, Tadjikistan and Uzbeskistan.
		Among them are types of melon, that are truly indigenous in the country because they are either a true wild type, such as Cucumis melo agrestis, or used in the Sudan only as a vegetable melon, such as a local type known as Tibish (Mohamed and Pitrat 1999).

		The present invention therefore relates to the identification of a gene complex which can be isolated from a plant cell system, characterized in that when it is transferred into a compatible cell system belonging to a plant bearing climacteric type fruits, it is expressed by conferring nonclimacteric type characteristics on the fruits.
		Thus, nonclimacteric cell systems are obtained from Cucumis melo which may be transferred, by crossing, in particular into related compatible systems or alternatively into other systems using molecular biology methods.

	Title of Invention: Transgenic plants belonging to the species Cucumis melo
		The regeneration of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus), after induction of adventitious shoot buds on calli derived from cotyledons, has been described (Msikita et al., 1988; Kim et al., 1988); Wehner and Locy (1981) had previously described the induction of buds on cotyledons.
		As far as the regeneration of genetically transformed plants is concerned, EP-A-0262972 describes the transformation of Cucumis sativus (cucumber) by means of Agrobacterium rhizogenes followed by regeneration and EP-A-0265100 describes the transformation of Cucumis sativus by fusion of protoplasts, followed by regeneration.
		According to another embodiment of the invention, explants of plants belonging to the species Cucumis melo are transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the transformed explants thus obtained are then cultivated in the induction medium for shoot buds.
