Boris Timofeevich Matienko and Early Research on Cucurbit Crops at the Moldavian Academy of Sciences
Boris Timofeevich Matienko (1929–2004) was a respected plant anatomist and physiologist in Soviet Moldova. Matienko’s research was primarily on the growth, development, and senescence of cucurbits, as well as apples, plums, and other vegetable crops. His

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?
Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Early growth responses of selected cucurbit vegetables to salt stress
This study investigated the early growth responses of selected highly economically cucurbit vegetables under varying salt concentrations. Four potential cucurbit species (Luffa aegyptiaca, Cucurbita pepo, Praecitrullus fistulosus, and Cucurbita maxima ...

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

ABSTRACT Plant viruses are so harmful to crops. It is an urgent need to develop modern, environment‐friendly, and sustainable plant viral epidemic‐management strategies that are safe for both human health and the environment. The field of nanotechnology is gaining increased interest in plant science.

Schematic summary of the machine learning‐driven analysis for high‐yield cucumber architecture. This study employs machine learning methods to analyze key shoot and root traits, building a predictive model for yield. The analysis identifies an optimal plant architecture: a compact and sturdy shoot structure, combined with a narrow yet larger‐diameter ...
