Genetic diversity and molecular characterization of Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) subgroup II infecting Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and Pea (Pisum sativum) in Pothwar region of Pakistan

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a tremendous threat to vegetables across the globe, including in Pakistan. The present work was conducted to investigate the genetic variability of CMV isolates infecting pea and spinach vegetables in the Pothwar region of Pakistan. Serological-based surveys during...

Biochar addition for enhanced cucumber fruit quality under deficit irrigation

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (6), 2020
In the recent years, biochar has been used as an organic soil amendment. Therefore, this study was undertaken in April 2016 to July 2017 to examine the effect of different biochar addition (BA) rates and deficit irrigation (DI) on quality characteristics of cucumber under greenhouse conditions...

Influence of physiological and health quality on the vigor of cucumber seeds

Arq. Inst. Biol; 86 (), 2019
The physiological performance of seeds is related to their physiological quality and seed vigor, while their health quality may interfere with germination and early seedling establishment in the field due to the interaction of microorganisms associated with seeds. The study aimed to evaluate the physiolo...

Growth kinetics of Escherichia coli O157: H7 on the epicarp of fresh vegetables and fruits

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Despite the increasing reports on the incidence of fresh vegetables and fruits as a possible vehicle for human pathogens, there is currently limited knowledge on the growth potential of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on different plant substrates. This study analyzed the selective adhesion and growth ...

Antioxidative enzymes of Cucumis sativus seeds are modulated by Leucaena leucocephala extracts

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 39 (3), 2017
This study aimed to analyze oxidative stress produced in cucumber seeds and seedlings when exposed to aqueous extract from dried leaves of leucaena, as well as its effect on the germination behavior, early growth and the antioxidant enzymes activity. It was evaluated the percentage, the speed index, the ...

Measurement of expansin activity and plant cell wall creep by using a commercial texture analyzer

Background: Expansins play an important role in cell wall metabolism and fruit softening. Determination of expansin activity is a challenging problem since it depends on measuring cell wall properties by using ad hoc extensometers, a fact that has strongly restricted its study. Then, the objective of the...

Efeito de extrato bruto e óleo essencial de Achillea millefolium em desenvolvimento in vitro de Corynespora cassiicola e proteção de pepino à mancha de corinespora

Medidas de controle de doenças por meio do uso de extratos e óleos essenciais vêm sendo investigadas como alternativa aos fungicidas convencionais. Este trabalho objetivou estudar o efeito antimicrobiano de extratos brutos aquosos e óleo essencial de Achillea millefolium no crescimento micelial (CM),...
