Tanaman melon (Cucumis melo L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman buah-buahan yang penting dan ini banyak ditanam di berbagai negara. Permintaan produksi buah meningkat harus seimbang dengan ketersediaan benih melon. Dalam budidaya terdapat beberapa kendala satunya pada waktu dibutuhkan. Budidaya tidak terlepas dari hambatan pertumbuhan karena gangguan hama penyakit. Mengatasi permasalahan diperluka...

DNA Sequence, Satellite DNA, Cucumis melo The primary sequence of the prominent Cucumis melo satellite DNA is presented. The cloned Hind Ill-repeat unit has a length of 352 bp and a GC-content of 56%. Within this sequence an inverted repeat of 9 bp, including a 286 bp loop, and one direct repeat are shown. Several open reading frames are possible following the sequence in both directions whose ...

The quality of fruit targeted for human consumption is affected greatly by the methods used in processing. The objective of this study was to assess a method of treating cantaloupe melons to reduce the wound responses incurred by cutting while maintaining fruit quality. After being treated with an alternating magnetic field (AMF) at the strength of 2mT for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 min, Cucumis m...

Peat replacement is an increasing demand in containerized and transplant production, due to the environmental constraints associated to peat use. However, despite the wide information concerning the use of alternative materials as substrates, it is very complex to establish the best materials and mixtures. This work evaluates the use of mixture design and surface response methodology in a peat ...

Dr. de Melo-Martin examines the risks, uncertainties and public policies surrounding in vitro fertilization and women's health issues.

ABSTRACT Irrigating and fertilizing (known as fertigating) should be applied more effectively efficiently. Pocket fertigation technology an alternative was developed to achieve those purposes. The main challenge the is determine optimum irrigation water. objective of study optimize water pocket fertigation, particularly in determining optimal soil moisture during growth stage by genetic algorit...

As a result of his botanical explorations in northern Australia, Ferdinand von Mueller named several Cucurbitaceae that molecular data now show to be distinct, requiring their resurrection from unjustified synonymy. We here describe and illustrate Luffa saccata F. Muell. ex I.Telford, validating a manuscript name listed under Luffa graveolens Roxb. since 1859, and we lectotypify Cucumis picroca...

The centromere of an eukaryotic chromosome can move to a new position during evolution, which may result in a major alteration of the chromosome morphology and karyotype. This centromere repositioning phenomenon has been extensively documented in mammalian species and was implicated to play an important role in mammalian genome evolution. Here we report a centromere repositioning event in plant...
