Cucurbit Downy Mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis): Cucumber Resistance
… downy mildew (CDM). It is the most damaging cucumber pathogen on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and eastern parts of the United States. Pseudoperonospora cubensis is an obligate oomycete pathogen, infecting crops within the Cucurbitaceae family. The disease is characterized by angular …

Effects of Cucumber Mosaic Virus on Plant-Pollinator Relationships
… flight arena experiments in the Carr lab, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was shown to cause plants to emit volatile chemicals that attract bumblebees (Bombus terrestris). Bumblebees are important tomato pollinators but do not transmit CMV. For wild plants under natural conditions, helping host …

Interactions between Cucumber mosaic virus proteins and host proteins
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infects over a thousand plant species including many crops. CMV is mainly transmitted between plants by aphids, insects with probing mouthparts that introduce virus particles directly into host cells. The 2b viral suppressor of RNA silencing (VSR) encoded by CMV is a …

Molecular characterization of the cucumber necrosis virus coat protein gene
A cucumber necrosis tombusvirus (CNV) mutant which lacks the coding sequence for the coat protein protruding domain, PD(-), was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis of an infectious CNV cDNA clone, pK2/M5 (wild-type, 4701 nt). Transcripts of PD(-) were infectious in Nicotiana clevelandii, …

Automated Generation of Executable Cucumber Scenarios from a RDBMS Schema
… of such scenarios, BDD tools (e.g., Cucumber) were introduced to allow the creation of user-readable scenarios and of the corresponding code to make these scenarios executable. A Relational Database Management System models in a schema the constraints and inter-relationships of the …

Identification and characterisation of South African strains of cucumber mosaic virus
This project was then aimed at finding naturally occurring isolates of CMV, characterising them, producing much needed antisera and to use such antisera in a comparison with other well characterised strains by the use of new contemporary sensitive serological techniques.

Investigating flavor quality and variances in F2 cucumber progenies using instrumental analysis
… has been conducted on the development of cucumber flavor (texture, taste, and aroma) through plant breeding methods. This study aimed to identify cucumber flavor compositions in 165 F2 progenies and compare the progenies to their parent fruits (W17633 and 9930q2-1) and a first-generation …

Mixed infections of maize dwarf mosaic virus and cucumber mosaic virus in maize
… infected with maize dwarf mosaic (MDMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). A mixed infection of these two viruses could be maintained in maize plants grown under laboratory conditions. The possibility of synergism or of an interference mechanism between MDMV and CMV in dual infections was …

The development of transgenic plants resistant to cucumber mosaic virus and tobacco necrosis virus
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and tobacco necrosis virus (TN V) often occur in mixed virus infections in South Africa. Both viruses are of economic importance because of their world-wide distribution, extensive host range and their effects on yields of agriculturally important crop plants. The …

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages Infecting Enterobacter cloacae to Reduce Bloater Defect in Cucumber Fermentations
<p>Fermented cucumbers are one of the most important fermented vegetables consumed worldwide. During cucumber fermentations, certain undesirable changes may occur. One of such changes is known as bloater defect (hollow cavities in fermented cucumbers), which is primarily caused by gas-producing …

Utilization of common buckwheat as a short-cycle cover crop before direct-seeded processing cucumber production
Weeds are difficult to control in processing cucumber (Cucumis sativus) production because of the growth habit of cucumber and its sensitivity to herbicides. One alternative method is utilizing short-cycle summer cover crops, such as common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) prior to planting …

Investigating sensory characteristics and flavor profiles of ten cucumber cultivars using descriptive and sensory instrumental analysis
This study aimed to assess selected cucumber sensory characteristics using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and link with instrumental analysis of volatile aroma and non-volatile taste compounds. QDA, using a trained panel (n=10), identified and quantified 14 flavor descriptors for 10 …

Regeneration and germination of cucumber seeds in vitro and a study of delayed flowering gene (df)
Old and fresh seeds of various cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) lines were studied for germination and cotyledon regeneration. Depending on cultivars, seeds stored at 68$\sp\circ$F and 38% relative humidity remained 40 to 90% viable for 13 years. Seeds older than that were nonviable. It was also found …
