A high resolution genetic map anchoring scaffolds of the sequenced watermelon genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
As part of our ongoing efforts to sequence and map the watermelon (Citrullus spp.) genome, we have constructed a high density genetic linkage map. The map positioned 234 watermelon genome sequence scaffolds (an average size of 1.41 Mb) that cover about ...

Microsatellite analysis in some watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) genotypes

International Journal of Agriculture Environment and Food Sciences, 2022
Conservation of genetic resources is essential for the continuation of future crop production. Watermelon (Citrul-lus lanatus), a member of Cucurbitaceae, is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. The aim of this study was to reveal the genetic relationships with the help of microsatellite markers in a watermelon collection free of ...

Three‐dimensional X‐ray‐computed tomography of 3300‐ to 6000‐year‐old Citrullus seeds from Libya and Egypt compared to extant seeds throws doubts on species assignments

Plants, People, Planet, 2021
Societal Impact Statement The watermelon (Citrullus lanatus subsp. vulgaris) is among the world's most important fruit crops. We here use C‐14 dating and morphometric analysis to test whether ancient seeds can be identified to species level, which would ...

Microbiome analysis uncovers fruit-specific microbial community divergence between wild and cultivated watermelon varieties

Vegetable Research
Domestication not only modulates the genetic characteristics of crops but also reconfigures their associated microbial communities, which subsequently impact plant health, disease resistance, and ecological adaptability.

INFLUENCE OF ROOTSTOCKS ON Fusarium WILT, NEMATODE INFESTATION, YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY IN WATERMELON PRODUCTION

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata rootstock are used to prevent infection with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in watermelon production; however, this rootstock is not effective against nematode attack. Because of their vigor, the grafted plants can

Effects of Sowing Depths on Nutritional Metabolites of Three Cucurbitaceae Species

Fountain Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences (FUJNAS), 2023
Variations in soil nutrients can influence the nutritional attributes of crops. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying sowing depths (2-8 cm) at 2 cm intervals on the nutritional contents of Luffa cylindrica (LC ...

Yield, Evapotranspiration, Production Functions, Crop Coefficients, Water Productivity and Soil‐Water Extraction of Three Watermelon Varieties

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While watermelon is an important commodity in the United States and worldwide, some of the fundamental watermelon productivity indices (crop evapotranspiration [ETc], transpiration [Tr], evaporation [E], ET‐yield production functions [ETYPF], basal crop coefficients [Kcb], crop water productivity [CWP], soil‐water extraction [SWE]) have not ...

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...
