ourmia melon virus (oumv) is the causal agent of mosaic disease on melon in west-azerbaijan province and probably in some other parts of iran. symptomatic and non-symptomatic samples of cultivated and non-cultivated hosts were collected from most cucurbit-planting parts of the province and surveyed using common serological methods namely: indirect-elisa, direct-elisa and lateral flow. some squa...

Cantaloupe melons have a typical climacteric behaviour with ethylene playing a major role in the regulation of the ripening process and affecting the ripening rate. Crossing of Cantaloupe Charentais melon with a non-climacteric melon indicated that the climacteric character is genetically dominant and conferred by two duplicated loci only. However, other experiments made by crossing two non-cli...

the cotton-melon aphid, aphis gossypii glover (hom.: aphidiae), is an injuriously important pest of tomatoes in farms and greenhouses. in the greenhouse environment its damage ranks second to whiteflies (trialeurodes vaporariorum westw.). in this research the resistance of nine different tomato cultivars namely: strian, caligen, super bita, super strian, super af1, has2274, gs-12-f1, sun-6200 f...

Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts for them to live together. So they will grow as one plant. Normally the method has been largely applied to propagate trees that will not root well as cuttings or whose own root systems are not strong enough or resistant to several soil-borne pathogens. Now the method is used for other crops, as vegetables, such as solanace...

BACKGROUND Melon (Cucumis melo) allergy is one of the most common food allergies, characterized by oral allergy syndrome. To date, two allergen molecules, Cuc m 1 and Cuc m 2, have been fully characterized in melon pulp, but there are few reports about the molecular characteristics of Cuc m 3. METHODS The Cuc m 3 cDNA has been characterized by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), which re...

Objective: Importance of management of gardens weeds is an issue that unfortunately has less been investigated by weeds researchers of country. One of the most important restrictive agents of cultivated surface and producing crops of Citrus orchards are weeds. Methods: In this investigation, isolates of Fusarium solani were recovered from diseased broomrape collected from toma...

broomrape (orobanche spp.) is one of the most serious weed pathogen on many dicotyledonous plants such as tomato, cucumber, melon, tobacco and others. this weed parasite caused serious problem in tomato cultivation fields, especially in north west iran. some isolates of fusarium spp. and pseudomonas fluorescens are known as effective biological agents in biocontrol of this weed. in order to fin...

Background. Ralstonia solanacearum is an economically important plant pathogen with an unusually large host range. The Moko (banana) and NPB (not pathogenic to banana) strain groups are closely related but are adapted to distinct hosts. Previous comparative genomics studies uncovered very few differences that could account for the host range difference between these pathotypes. To better unders...
