Due to their well-known antifungal activity, the intentional use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as sustainable nanofungicides is expected to increase in agriculture. However, the impacts of AgNPs on plants must be critically evaluated to guarantee their

Pan‐genome and multi‐parental framework for high‐resolution trait dissection in melon (Cucumis melo)
SUMMARY Linking genotype with phenotype is a fundamental goal in biology and requires robust data for both. Recent advances in plant‐genome sequencing have expedited comparisons among multiple‐related individuals. The abundance of structural genomic within‐species variation that has been discovered indicates that a single reference genome cannot ...

Detection and Characterization of Cucumis melo Cryptic Virus, Cucumis melo Amalgavirus 1, and Melon Necrotic Spot Virus in Cucumis melo [PDF]
Three RNA viruses—Cucumis melo cryptic virus (CmCV), Cucumis melo amalgavirus 1 (CmAV1), and melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV)—were identified from a melon (Cucumis melo) transcriptome dataset. CmCV has two dsRNA genome segments; dsRNA-1 is 1592 bp in size, containing a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and dsRNA-2 is 1715 bp in size, and ...
