Some biochemical characteristics of grafted watermelon

Indian Journal of Horticulture, 2017
Grafting is an alternative approach to reduce crop damage resulting from soil-borne pathogens. This approach also increases plant abiotic stress tolerance, which in turn increases crop yield and quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of grafting on watermelon quality parameters with the use of different rootstock ...

Grafting Resulted in a Distinct Proteomic Profile of Watermelon Root Exudates Relative to the Un-Grafted Watermelon and the Rootstock Plant

Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2016
Grafting is commonly used to relieve damage caused by soil-borne diseases and to enhance the nutrient uptake in watermelon plants. Certain reports have shown the proteomic changes of plant tissues involved in grafting, while little information about the secretome after watermelon grafting is available.

Fruit quality of mini‐watermelon as affected by grafting and irrigation regimes

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2008
AbstractBACKGROUND: The Mediterranean region suffers water deficit that affects fruit yield and quality. Grafting improves crop tolerance to disease and drought, but the taste and quality of fruit may be negatively affected. The aim of the present work was to determine the quality parameters of mini‐watermelon, ungrafted or grafted onto a squash hybrid

The effectiveness of grafting to improve alkalinity tolerance in watermelon

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2010
Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine whether grafting could improve alkalinity tolerance of watermelon, and to study the changes induced by the rootstock in the shoot growth at agronomical, physiological, and biochemical levels. Two greenhouse experiments were carried out to determine growth, net photosynthetic rate, electrolyte ...

grafting increase watermelon seedling chilling tolerance

2021
The experiment was carried out at Huazhong Agricultural University (Wuhan, China). The watermelon line ‘97103’ (Citrullus lanatus, a chilling-sensitive inbred line) was used as the scion and the pumpkin Qingyan No.1 (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata, a chilling tolerant cultivar) was used as the rootstock.

Accumulation of WeatheredP,P′-DDE in Xylem Sap Of Grafted Watermelon

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2012
Movement of weathered p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (p,p'-DDE) from contaminated soil to the rhizosphere pore water to the xylem sap of grafted watermelon was studied under green house conditions. p,p'-DDE concentrations in pore water and xylem sap was compared in intact plants, homografted, and compatible heterografts of Cucurbita pepo spp. pepo

An overview on watermelon grafting in Turkey

2010
Fruit bearing vegetables have been grafted for many years in East Asia to solve problems associated with intensive cultivation using limited agricultural land. Grafting in vegetables was introduced to Turkey in the late 20th century. The first experiment on grafting was conducted on tomato in Turkey in 1989 and following years in watermelon. Watermelon

Evaluation of herbicides for selective weed control in grafted watermelons

Phytoparasitica, 2008
Grafted watermelon is a combination of two plants, aCucurbita rootstock and a watermelon scion. Therefore, weed control for this crop faces a unique problem: the safety of the selected herbicide has to be tested for both plants that make up the grafted plant.

Investigation on fruit quality of grafted watermelon

2019
In this study, grafted and ungrafted watermelon cultivars were grown in Cukurova region to determine fruit pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, yantioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and analysis of sensory evaluation. The highest soluble solids (11.32%) and titratable acidity 0.190 g/100g were in seedless cultivars. The highest antioxidant
