Effect of Gibberellin and Salicylic Acid on Tolerance of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) Seedling
DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.159.11.1.1578.1575 Extended Abstract Introduction: In order to take more advantage of the spring growing season, the mechanisms of germination of spring plants are of great importance at temperatures lower than the optimum temperature. Since one of the ways to reduce damage due to low temperature is enhancing the seedling antioxidant system, in this study the...
متن کاملUV-C irradiation reduces microbial populations and deterioration in Cucurbita pepo fruit tissue.
Tissue slices of zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L., cv. Tigress) fruit were exposed to ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation from germicidal lamps for 1, 10 or 20 min; however, only 10 and 20 min UV-C exposure significantly reduced microbial activity and deterioration during subsequent storage at 5 or 10 degrees C. UV-C treated slices had higher respiration rates than controls; however, the ethylene ...
متن کاملRisk assessment of genetically engineered crops: fitness effects of virus-resistance transgenes in wild Cucurbita pepo.
The development of crops genetically engineered for pathogen resistance has raised concerns that crop-to-wild gene flow could release wild or weedy relatives from regulation by the pathogens targeted by the transgenes that confer resistance. Investigation of these risks has also raised questions about the impact of gene flow from conventional crops into wild plant populations. Viruses in natura...
متن کاملThe effect of magnetized water on the growth and some biochemical parameters of squash (Cucurbita pepo) plants under toxicity of herbicide trifluralin
To investigate the effect of herbicide Trifluralin and the role of magnetized water on enzymatic activities and content of proline and growth substances including gibberellin (GA3) and cytokinin (6- benzyl amino purine), an experiment was conducted using squash (Cucurbita pepo L. var. Shiraz Hybrid F1) seedlings. Four levels of trifluralin (0, 5, 15 and 25 ppm) and irrigation by distilled and m...
متن کاملComparison of perimeter trap crop varieties: effects on herbivory, pollination, and yield in butternut squash.
Perimeter trap cropping (PTC) is a method of integrated pest management (IPM) in which the main crop is surrounded with a perimeter trap crop that is more attractive to pests. Blue Hubbard (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) is a highly effective trap crop for butternut squash (C. moschata Duch. ex Poir) attacked by striped cucumber beetles (Acalymma vittatum Fabricius), but its limited marketability may ...
