investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

Rhizopus oryzae is reported for the first time on Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Makino. A detailed description of this Korean specimen is given, along with its rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence. On the basis of mycological characteristics and molecular data, the fungus was identified as R. oryzae Went & Prinsen Geerligs.

Activated carbon prepared from Cucumis Melo Peel was used as adsorbent for the removal of chromium ion from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were performed by varying initial metal ion concentration, temperature, and pH. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data obtained at different adsorption conditions. Adsorption results obtained, shows that the Cr ...

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 ...
