Grafting techniques are being used to improve economically important horticultural crops including Cucumis melo L. This 2-year study was carried out at Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey. aimed evaluate the effects of grafting using different rootstocks on plant, fruit and seed quality in cantaloupe melons. The double haploid (DH) female (H27) male (H4) parental lines Solmaz F1 (Cucumis var. ca...

The elucidation of heat tolerance mechanisms is required to combat the challenges of global warming. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant enzyme responses to heat stress, at the enzymatic activity and gene expression levels, and to investigate the antioxidative alterations associated with heat tolerance in the stems and roots of squashes using three genotypes differing in heat toleranc...

This study's goal was to look at how grafting affected the concentration of plant nutrients in watermelon plants which different rootstocks and various ground skin colors lines. During 2020 spring/summer growing season, this study conducted greenhouses labs Alata Horticultural Research Institute Mersin, Türkiye. Rootstocks included Argentario from a commercial rootstock, 3335 Turkish landraces ...

Improving the productivity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants subjected to combined salinity and heat stresses is a significant challenge, particularly in arid semi-arid regions. Gianco F1 cucumbers were grafted onto five cucurbit rootstocks and, together with an ungrafted control, grown Egypt net house saline soil during summer season over two years. The vegetative growth, yield, quality,...

Watermelon grafting is practiced in order to improve tolerance poor environments such as low temperature. This study was conducted investigate the effect of low-temperature tolerant bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) rootstocks on growth and fruit quality watermelon semi-forcing retarding culture where plants were exposed or high Five accessions (FR79, IT207112, BG702, BG703, FRD22) with temper...

Screening and identification of tolerant genotypes using osmotic materials under in vitro culture could be rapid, easy, even accurate. In this research, three Iranian landraces Cucurbita sp. included Tanbal Ajili (Cucurbita maxima Duch.), Razan pepo L.), Balghabakhi moschata Duch.) seeds were cultured ¼ MS medium. After germination, plantlets transferred to media containing mannitol PEG 6000. M...

Aims: During a disease survey conducted in 2019, typical symptoms including yellowing of the leaves, stunting, shortening internodes, proliferation auxiliary shoots (witches'-broom), bunchy appearance growth at ends stems (rosetting), virescence flowers or sterility, phyllody, small and deformed leaves fasciation were observed on suspected cucurbit plants growing Hatay province. Therefore, this...
