The most important quality for muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) is their sweetness which is closely related to the soluble sugars content. Leaves are the main photosynthetic organs in plants and thus the source of sugar accumulation in fruits since sugars are translocated from leaves to fruits. The
The effects of varied rooting volumes on root growth and source leaf carbohydrate metabolism were studied in greenhouse-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L cv Calypso) plants. Plants were grown for 7 weeks in container volumes that ranged from 0.4 to 5.9 liters. Plants grown in the smaller containers
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are potent regulators of photosynthesis and crop yield in agricultural crops; however, the mechanism by which BRs increase photosynthesis is not fully understood. Here, we show that foliar application of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) resulted in increases in CO(2) assimilation,
Carbon partitioning in the leaves of Cucumis sativus L., a stachyose translocating plant, was influenced by the presence or absence of a single growing fruit on the plant. Fruit growth was very rapid with rates of fresh weight gain as high as 3.3 grams per hour. Fruit growth was highly competitive
Many hexose transporters (HTs) have been reported to play roles in sucrose-transporting plants. However, little information about roles of HTs in RFOs (raffinose family oligosaccharides)-transporting plants has been reported. Here, three hexose transporters (CsHT2, CsHT3, and CsHT4) were cloned from
Light quality is thought to affect many plant physiological processes during growth and development, particularly photosynthesis. We examined how light quality influences plant photosynthesis by analyzing changes in photosynthetic parameters and expression levels of some photosynthesis related genes
BACKGROUND
Cucumis prophetarum (L.) is used in traditional Indian medicine for the treatment of inflammation related problems.
OBJECTIVE
The present investigation was designed to study the effect of N-Trisaccharide (a new compound isolated from the fruit of C. prophetarum (L.)) on hyperglycemia in
Photoassimilating mature leaves of Cucumis melo exported carbon at a rate of 1.7 mg C·dm(-2)·h(-1). Radiolabeling with (14)C showed that stachyose and raffinose are the main carbohydrates translocated. Autoradiograms indicated that sieve elements of the abaxial phloem of minor veins are the sole
A serine proteinase from roots of Taraxacum officinale Webb S. L. was isolated by affinity chromatography and gel-filtration on Superose 6R using FPLC. The enzyme is a 67-kD glycoprotein containing 54% carbohydrate which we have named taraxalisin. The substrate specificity of taraxalisin toward
A protease has been purified from sarcocarp of musk melon, Cucumis melo ssp. melo var. reticulatus Naud. Earl's Favourite. The protease was mostly present in the placenta part of the fruit and next in the inside mesocarp. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be about 62kDa on SDS-PAGE.
Luffa cylindrica (sponge gourd) is one of the most popular vegetables in China. Production and consumption of L. cylindrica are limited due to postharvest browning; however, little is known about the genetic regulation of the browning process. In the present study, transcriptome profiles of L.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the effect of Katsura-uri (Japanese pickling melon; Cucumis melo var. conomon) on energy metabolism during exercise in human and animal studies.
METHODS
Eight healthy men (mean age, 21.4 ± 0.7 years) participated in a single-blind, crossover study. Thirty minutes after
Raffinose and stachyose are ubiquitous galactosyl-sucrose oligosaccharides in the plant kingdom which play major roles, second only to sucrose, in photoassimilate translocation and seed carbohydrate storage. These sugars are initially metabolised by alpha-galactosidases (alpha-gal). We report the
Raffinose, stachyose, and galactinol are synthesized in intermediary cells (specialized companion cells) of the minor-vein phloem of cucurbits. To better understand the role of these carbohydrates and the regulation of their synthesis and transport, we measured the concentrations of each of the
