Excessive nickel (Ni) accumulation in edible parts of the plants has become a serious challenge for food security over the past few decades. Therefore, in this study, the role of calcium (Cap>2+p>) signaling in imparting Ni tolerance was investigated in zucchini (Cucurbitapepo L. cv
The changes of some physiological and biochemical parameters in pumpkin (Cucurbitapepo cv Eskandarani) leaves associated with zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) infection and the effect of exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) were studied in this paper. In comparison to the untreated
In order to investigate the contribution of polyamines and related amino acids in the maintenance of zucchini fruit quality during cold storage, two varieties of Cucurbitapepo with different degrees of chilling tolerance were used, Natura (more tolerant) and Sinatra (moresensitive). After harvest,
The present study was intended to assess the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and Bacillus subtilis S4 in mitigation of arsenic (As) stress in Cucurbita moschata. Cucurbita moschata seedlings were subjected to As stress for 60 days. Reduced level of growth
Research into nanotechnology, an emerging science, has advanced in almost all fields of technology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2 ) in plant resistance to salt stress through improvement of the antioxidant system of squash (Cucurbitapepo L.
The solution structure of Cucurbita maxima trypsin inhibitor-V (CMTI-V), which is also a specific inhibitor of the blood coagulation protein, factor XIIa, was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy in combination with a distance-geometry and simulated annealing algorithm. Sequence-specific resonance
Effects of different concentration NaCl stress on cation contents of pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita ficifolia and Cucurbita moschata) usually used as rootstocks of cucumber were studied. The results showed that, in both cultivars treated with 150, 300 and 500 mmol/L NaCl for 7 d, increasing salinity
Rootstocks frequently exert detrimental effects on the fruit quality of grafted cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants. To understand and ultimately correct this deficiency, a transcriptomic and metabolomic comparative analysis was performed among cucumber fruits from non-grafted plants (NG),
A high accumulation of silicon (Si) is required for overcoming abiotic and biotic stresses, but the molecular mechanisms of Si uptake, especially in dicotyledonous species, is poorly understood. Herein, we report the identification of an influx transporter of Si in two Cucurbita moschata (pumpkin)
