Chlorophyll (CHL) is present in many plant organs, and its metabolism is strongly regulated throughout plant development. Understanding the fate of CHL in senescent leaves or during fruit ripening is a complex process. The stay-green (SGR) protein has been shown to affect CHL degradation. In this study, we used the conserved sequences of STAY-GREEN domain protein (NP_567673) in Arabidopsis thal...

Powdery mildew is one of the most common fungal diseases in the world. This disease frequently affects melon (Cucumis melo L.) and other Cucurbitaceous family crops in both open field and greenhouse cultivation. One of the goals of genomics is to identify the polymorphic loci responsible for variation in phenotypic traits. In this study, powdery mildew disease assessment scores were calculated ...

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important diploid crop with a wide variety of flavors due to its distinct aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOC). To understand the development VOC profiles during fruit development, we performed metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis two cantaloupe varieties over course development. A total 130 metabolites were detected in samples, 449014207 reads mapped melon...

To investigate phylogenetic relationships in the genus Cucumis, 9 consensus chloroplast simple sequence repeat (ccSSR) primer pairs (ccSSR3, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, and 23) were employed for DNA fragment length variation and 5 amplified fragments, ccSSR4, 12, 13, 19, and 20, were sequenced using total DNA from 13 accessions representing 7 African Cucumis species (x = 12), 3 Cucumis melo L. (...

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is one of the most popular fruit commodities in Indonesia, thanks to its sweet, wonderful flavor, as well high nutritional content and value. Consumer demand for melons very high, both locally internationally, although sugar level this particular melon not too sweet. A a herbaceous annual plant that grows on vines member cucumber family. This study aimed determine optimu...

Some cucurbit plants (Cucumis sativus L., Cucurbita pepo Cucumis melo L. and Citrillus lanatus L.) were used for investigating some physiological changes protein patterns under heat stress in plants. Leaf samples exposed tohigh temperatures as follows 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 60°C. Percentage of ion leakage, chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content (RWC) loss turgidity, total soluble (TSP) pr...

Behaviors of Eretmocerus sp. nr. californicus females attacking Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring infesting cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., and melon, Cucumis melo L., were quantified. Adult female behaviors were described and quantified for Eret. sp. nr. californicus to establish a behavioral time budget analysis. Females readily searched for host whitefly nymphs on cotton leaves with walk...
