Exploring a New Serine Protease from Cucumis sativus L

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2015
Coagulation is an important physiological process in hemostasis which is activated by sequential action of proteases. This study aims to understand the involvement of aqueous fruit extract of Cucumis sativus L. (AqFEC) European burp less variety in blood coagulation cascade. AqFEC hydrolyzed casein in a dose-dependent manner.

Sustainable Substrate Management in Soilless Tomato Cultivation: Combined Effects of Biochar and Wood Distillate on Plant Growth and Fruit Mechanical Properties

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Tomato production increasingly requires high‐yield plants and fruits with enhanced firmness and resistance to mechanical damage in order to reduce post‐harvest losses. Pre‐harvest treatments‐ may play a key role in modulating these quality attributes.

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Butylparaben in Edaphic Organisms Using Multiple Biomarkers

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

PLoS ONE, 2012
Knowing the extent and structure of genetic variation in germplasm collections is essential for the conservation and utilization of biodiversity in cultivated plants. Cucumber is the fourth most important vegetable crop worldwide and is a model system for other Cucurbitaceae, a family that also includes melon, watermelon, pumpkin and squash.

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 390-405, March 2026.
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.
