MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, recognize their mRNA targets based on perfect sequence complementarity. MiRNAs lead to broader changes in gene expression after plants are exposed to stress. High-throughput sequencing is an effective method to identify and profile small RNA populations in non-model plants under salt stresses, significantly improving our knowledge regarding ...

The effects of different Cucurbita spp. rootstocks on melon cultivars belonging to different horticultural groups were studied by comparing grafted plants with non-grafted ones under greenhouse and open ®eld growing conditions. Winter melons (Cucumis melo L.) of the Inodorus group, cvs. `Thraki', `Peplo' and `Lefko Amynteou', and a summer melon of the Cantalupensis group, cv. `Kokkini Banana', ...

Antioxidant activities and nutritional composition are essential ingredients normally considered in the choice of vegetables for human consumption. Leafy particular, regarded as protective foods diet due to their many health benefits. The aim this research was carry out quantitative phytochemical screening, antioxidant extracts determine content Cucurbita maxima Vigna unguiculata leaves. Quanti...

‘Aliza’ is a new pomelo × mandarin hybrid (Citrus maxima, cv. Red Chandler Citrus reticulata, Ora) developed by the Israeli citrus breeding program at Volcani Institute. Here, we aimed to characterize quality and flavor of fruit as compared other commercial fruit, specifically (C. maxima), grapefruit paradisi), orange sinensis) reticulata). fruits have similar size grapefruits, but thinner peel...
