Background . Bitter melon ( Momordica charantia L.) is a vegetable and medicinal crop new for Russia. Its high heat demand the main factor limiting possibilities of its cultivation in temperate continental climate. Evaluation selection more cold-resistant accessions required breeding cultivars expanding production. Previously obtained data attest to possibility assessing cold hardiness mature m...

Molecular analysis encouraged discovery of genetic diversity and relationships of cultivated melon (Cucumis melo L.). We sequenced nine inter- and intra-genic regions of the chloroplast genome, about 5500 bp, using 60 melon accessions and six reference accessions of wild species of Cucumis to show intra-specific variation of the chloroplast genome. Sequence polymorphisms were detected among mel...

BACKGROUND Profilins are highly cross-reactive allergens which bind IgE antibodies of almost 20% of plant-allergic patients. This study is aimed at investigating cross-reactivity of melon profilin with other plant profilins and the role of the linear and conformational epitopes in human IgE cross-reactivity. METHODS Seventeen patients with melon allergy were selected based on clinical history...

Plant disease is the physiological process that causes them to become abnormal. diseases attack vegetative organs in form of roots, stems, and leaves or generative these plants. Plants sick due fungi, bacteria, viruses cause many symptoms plants, such as yellow spots, infection, nitrogen deficiency (N). The purpose this case study was determine severity on gourds (Lagenaria siceraria), bitter m...

In this report, we present the first description of nine complete genome sequences a new strain chayote yellow mosaic virus (ChaYMV, genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae), provisionally named Côte d’Ivoire (ChaYMV-CI), isolated from bitter melon (Momordica charantia) leaf samples showing symptoms collected in region Abidjan 2013 and 2019. The nucleotide ChaYMV-CI DNA-A-like share highest seq...

The majority of the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of fruits are anthocyanins, a group of polyphenolics that are responsible for the color of many fruits, vegetables and flowers. The harvesting time, storage conditions, maturity, extraction steps etc. are very important for the biological activities based on the alteration of chemical composition. The free radical scavenging and antidi...
