Streamlined Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation for efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing evaluation in diverse Citrullus cultivars

Horticultural Plant Journal
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system serves as a pivotal tool for enhancing crop genetics. Within this system, single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) are instrumental in the precise cleavage of DNA double strands.

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

An experimental study on performance emissions and combustion characteristics of a CI engine running

Journal of Thermal Engineering
A fatty acid alkyl ester can be made from Citrullus Colocynthis oil instead of pure diesel, since it has a higher ratio of triglycerides to monoglycerides.

Watermelon genotype‐independent transformation via direct organogenesis from the cotyledon base

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Inducing adventitious buds from the base of watermelon cotyledon through direct organogenesis resulted in a watermelon genetic transformation system that overcomes regeneration barriers and genotype limitations.

NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF CITRULLUS LANATUS (WATER MELON) SEEDS

, 2022
: Malnutrition, more specifically to protein-energy, and micronutrient deficiencies, are major health burdens in developing countries. This study was designed to investigate the nutrient compositions of Citrullus lanatus seeds.

A robust biotechnology induces artificial genomic duplication via transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

Вплив екстракту з сухих плодів Citrullus colocynthis (L.) shrad на життєдіяльність β-клітин підшлункової залози

, 2016
The study investigated the ability of Citrullus colocynthis dry fruits extract to modulate survival of RIN-m5F cells in vitro. Various concentrations of Citrullus colocynthis had no toxic effect on the cells viability. Exposure of β-cells to high glucose
