Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Effect of different light‐emitting diodes on vegetative cannabis growth and antioxidant activity

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cannabis stands as one of the world's oldest plant sources for food and textile fiber. The study aimed to assess the impact of white LED (blue; 446 nm + amber; 595 nm + red; 653 nm), wide PC amber (595 nm), narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) (NA + RB), and narrow amber (595 nm) + royal blue (430 nm) + cyan blue (485 nm) (NA

Influence of temperature and host plants on the development and fecundity of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acarina: Tetranychidae)

Plant Protection Science, 2004
Temperature plays a key role in the time needed for development of Tetranychus urticae. It developed fastest at 35°C (6.50 d) and 30°C (6.93 d), while at 15°C it took 16.23 d. The higher the temperature, the faster the development of the mite. As to host

Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Novel tetronamides derived from mucobromic acid: synthesis, structural elucidation, DFT calculations and phytotoxic activity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The acyclic mucobromic acid, activated by (1S)‐(+)‐10‐camphorsulfonic acid, afforded the chiral compound 1b, precursor for aza‐Michael addition/elimination on the butenolide yielding tetronamides 2b‐7b. Their relative SRSR configuration was confirmed by the spectrometric methods, DFT calculation and statistical methods.

Analyzing heavy metal contamination for one of the high-rate consumption fruits in Iran: A probabilistic health risk assessment

Heliyon
Good health and well-being is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) that can be achieved through fruit consumption. This study measured cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) heavy metal concentrations.

Review of research on haploid production in cucumber and other cucurbits

Folia Horticulturae, 2013
This review provides a summary of haploid induction methods and factors affecting the efficacy of specific methodologies as applied to cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), melon (Cucumis melo L.), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai), winter

Response of Cucumis sativus to Neighbors in a Species-Specific Manner

Plants, 2022
Plants exhibit various behaviors of growth and allocation that play an important role in plant performance and social interaction as they grow together. However, it is unclear how Cucumis sativus plants respond to different neighbors.

Trace Levels of Triclosan May Affect Root Growth and Morphology in Cultivated Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) is a micropollutant frequently detected in biosolids applied to agricultural soils. In soil solution—where it is potentially bioavailable to roots—it occurs at residual concentrations (ng L−1). Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of TCS exposure in agricultural crops at these concentrations are still not fully ...

Embryo rescue of cucumber (Cucumis sativus), muskmelon (C. melo) and some wild Cucumis species (C. anguria, C. zeyheri, and C. metuliferus)

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
Cucumis sativus is one of the most economically important crops of the Cucurbitaceae. Recent cucumber cultivars are susceptible to some serious diseases and pests, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, nematodes, and spider mites. Sources of resistance
