The variety belongs to the group Cucumis melo var. sacharinus. The fruits have a dense rind and aromatic flesh, which is characteristic of the Spanish yellow melon type. The variety is used in commercial production and as genetic material in breeding programs for mapping resistance genes.
In scientific research, the variety is characterized as susceptible to powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii), as well as to melon yellowing-associated virus and watermelon mosaic virus. Due to its susceptibility, it serves as a standard reference for comparative testing of new varieties and hybrids for pathogen resistance.
