Melon is of great value in food, medicine and industry. In recent years, the continuous cropping obstacles of melon is increasingly prominent, which seriously affects the cultivation. Autotoxicity is the key factor for the obstacles. Root is the first line against autotoxicity and main organs for
Twenty-six Hereford heifers died after eating mostly ripe fruit of Cucumis myriocarpus growing in a fallowed cultivation paddock. Four affected cattle were dehydrated and apparently had abdominal pain. Necropsy of three revealed intense congestion with haemorrhage of the alimentary tract, numerous
Monosporascus cannonballus causes root rot and vine decline in muskmelons and watermelons. Wild types of this fungus often undergo degenerative changes that have been associated with yellow to brown pigmentation, hypovirulence, dsRNA infection, and decreased production of perithecia. In this study,
Lisianthus necrosis virus (LNV) was first identified as a fungus-borne virus that induced systemic necrosis in lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum) in Japan (2). In Taiwan, LNV causes systemic bright yellow chlorosis followed by necrosis in lisianthus (1). The disease was able to spread through the
Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. reliculatus) plants exhibiting a yellow leaf disease have been observed in central Thailand since 1993. The pathogen is transmitted to muskmelon by the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. Based on leaf yellowing symptoms and whitefly transmission, infection by a
In the summers and falls of 2008 and 2009, cucurbit plants (squash, Cucurbita pepo L.; cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.; and melon, Cucumis melo L.) from 23 of 33 cucurbit fields surveyed at three districts (Jenin, Nablus, and Tulkarm) in the West Bank of the Palestinian Authority exhibited curled,
The development of chemical sensor technology in recent years has stimulated an interest regarding the use of characteristic volatiles and odors as a rapid and early indication of deterioration in fruit quality. The fungal infestation by Drechslera sp. in melons is a severe problem, and we
Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) is an economically important vegetable crop of the family Cucurbitaceae. Yellow mosaic in C. maxima was observed in and around Lucknow, India, during the winter season of 1999-2000. High populations of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) were associated with diseased plants.
The adsorption of Cu(II) ions by biochar fibres prior and after modification with 2-thiouracil on real and artificial samples has been studied by batch-type adsorption experiments, FTIR and XPS spectroscopy and competition reactions using U(VI) ions as competitor cations. The experimental data of
BACKGROUND
In climacteric fruit-bearing species, the onset of fruit ripening is marked by a transient rise in respiration rate and autocatalytic ethylene production, followed by rapid deterioration in fruit quality. In non-climacteric species, there is no increase in respiration or ethylene
Fusarium rot of muskmelon is a common and frequently-occurring postharvest disease, which leads to quality deterioration and neosolaniol (NEO) contamination. New strategies to control postharvest decay and reduce NEO contamination are of paramount importance. The effects of acetylsalicylic acid
BACKGROUND
Fruit ripening and softening are key traits that have an effect on food supply, fruit nutritional value and consequently, human health. Since ethylene induces ripening of climacteric fruit, it is one of the main targets to control fruit over ripening that leads to fruit softening and
A study was made of the ultrastructure of root cap meristematic cells in the seedlings of Cucumis sativus L., whose growth was inhibited by the action of 2-acetyl-4-metylcyclopent-4-en-1,3-dione (AMCD). It is shown that the treatment of seeds by this substance at a concentration of 100 microg/ml
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signal molecule that can mediate a wide range of physiological processes against cadmium (Cd) toxicity in plants. However, little information can be used to reveal the global and systematic mitigative mechanism of NO in improving Cd stress tolerance of cucumber plants. In the
To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of sex expression in cucumber, morphological observations and biochemical analyses were carried out on inappropriate stamen development of female flowers of cucumber. It was found that developmental arrest of the inappropriate stamen mainly occurs at the
