Treatment of melon hypocotyls or petioles with an elicitor from Colletotrichum lagenarium, a fungal pathogen of melons, causes an initial transitory inhibition of protein synthesis and, after 18 hours, induces the synthesis of a plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP). Microgram amounts of elicitor are sufficient for maximum elicitation of HRGP when the elicitor is injected into...

Melon is a seasonal fruit that very useful for human health. Kazakhstan ranks 4th in the world production of melons; this indicates volume production. Melons are exported to countries EEC (European Economic Union); coverage domestic market provided. However, about 40 % crop remains fields (overripe ones not transportable).

During the summer of 2018, there was high incidence fruit rots cantaloupe melons (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis) in Murcia province, south-eastern Spain. The fruits showed development whitish mycelium and pulp softening. Morphological molecular analysis internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-? (TEF1-?) second largest subunit RNA polymerase (RPB2) genes confirmed Fu...
