L-Citrulline Levels in Watermelon Cultigens Tested in Two Environments
Producers of fresh fruits and vegetables face increasing production costs and international market competition. Growers who can offer high-quality watermelons [Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum. & Nakai] that are also highly nutritious will have better market opportunities. To accomplish that, germplasm must be identified that has enhanced phytonutrient levels. Surprisingly, there is little inf...
متن کاملPostharvest Quality of Red-fleshed Watermelon Affected by Fruit Position in Vine
Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...
متن کاملDetermination of citrulline in watermelon rind.
Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) is a natural and rich source of the non-essential amino acid citrulline. Citrulline is used in the nitric oxide system in humans and has potential antioxidant and vasodilatation roles. A method using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed to separate citrulline from glutamic acid, which co-elute when analyzed by high performance liquid...
متن کامل5 Arginine , Citrulline , and Ornithine
Metabolism as well as function of the three amino acids, L-arginine, L-citrulline, and Lornithine, are closely intertwined and related to the homeostasis of nitric oxide at the tissue and cellular levels. For the three compounds data on neural tissue and CSF levels are summarized and localization in brain mainly derived from immunohistochemical experiments is reported. A complex pattern of diff...
متن کاملLycopene and Citrulline Contents in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)
Lycopene and citrulline contents of 9 diploids (2X) and their artificially induced autotetraploids (4X) and autotriploids (3X) were determined in mature fruit. Changes in lycopene and citrulline during fruit development was studied using fruit of variety XYXA with three different ploidy levels from 15 to 40 days after pollination (DAP). Polyploids, especially triploids, had higher levels of lyc...
