Texture softening of pickled cucumbers does not meet consumers’ quality expectations and leads to economic losses. The factor(s) triggering this phenomenon is still unknown. We investigated the importance plant viruses such as Cucumber green mottle mosaic tobamovirus (CGMMV) Zucchini yellow potyvirus (ZYMV) in context pickles. plants (Cucumis sativus) were infected by mechanical inoculation, gr...

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an emerging viral pathogen in cucurbit-growing areas wordwide. Infection causes significant yield losses in several species of the family Cucurbitaceae. To identify proteins potentially involved with resistance toward infection by the severe ZYMV-H isolate, two Cucurbita pepo cultivars (Zelena susceptible and Jaguar partially resistant) were analyzed using...

We monitored pollen-mediated transgene dissemination from commercial transgenic squash CZW-3 into its wild relative Cucurbita pepo ssp. ovifera var. texana (C. texana). Transgenic squash CZW-3 expresses the neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene and the coat protein (CP) genes of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), and Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV); thereby, i...

Impact assessments of virus resistance transgene introgression into wild, free-living populations are important for determining whether these transgenes present a risk to agriculture or the environment. Transgenic virus-resistant Cucurbita pepo ssp. ovifera var. ovifera L. (squash) cultivars have been commercialized, and may be cultivated in close proximity to cross-compatible wild, free-living...

Musk mallow (Abelmoschus moschatus, family Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant cultivated across Asia, Africa and South America. It found as weed all over the Deccan region of India (Pawar & Vyawahare, 2017). The seeds are used for purposes source fragrant compounds (Gul et al., 2011). plants exhibiting yellowing older leaves, midvein clearing, leaf reduction, mottling slight downward curling (Fig....

zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv) is a potyvirus with a worldwide distribution. this virus causes serious economic losses in iran in many cucurbits. during 2002-2003, sam-ples were collected from squash fields in tehran province. five isolates (z1, z2, z3, z4 and z5) were inoculated on 27 species of cucurbitaceae, chenopodiaceae, amarantha-ceae,solanacae, leguminosae and ranunculaceae. chenop...
