Changes in muskmelon perisperm envelope tissue during germination
Muskmelon (<i>Cucumis melo</i> L.) embryos are surrounded by a single layer of endosperm and a two- to four-cell-layered perisperm. The embryonic axis must penetrate the perisperm envelope (perisperm + endosperm) for germination to occur. Radicle emergence could result from increased turgor, …

Incorporating powdery mildew resistance into a winter type muskmelon
… cichoracearum</i> DC into the Ambrosia muskmelon, a melon of the Casaba or winter type. First generation hybrid (F1), first generation backcross (B1) and second generation inbred (F2) plants were grown to maturity at Blacksburg and Warsaw, Virginia. On the basis of the data obtained the …

Characterization of Chitinase Activity and Gene Expression in Muskmelon Seeds
… the activity and expression of chitinase in muskmelon seeds were investigated. Multiple chitinase isoforms were detected in muskmelon seeds from early development through radicle emergence. One acidic and three basic chitinase isoforms were detected in developing seeds at 40 days after …

Respiration during development and germination of muskmelon seeds (Cucumis melo L.)
Respiration rates of developing muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) seeds were determined polarographically using a Clark-type O₂ electrode (Hansatech LD2). Seeds were obtained from fruits harvested 20, 30, 40, and 50 days after anthesis (DAA). Respiration (O₂ uptake) was measured for fresh intact seeds …

Light Effect on Seed Chlorophyll Content and Germination Performance of Tomato and Muskmelon Seeds
… be used to remove low vigor immature seeds from muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.'Top Mark') and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) seed lots. Light treatments were applied to determine whether the light environment during seed harvesting and processing could affect chlorophyll content and seed vigor. …

Effects of priming and stage of development on vigor and longevity of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) seeds
Muskmelon seeds were harvested at eight stages of development to determine the optimal harvest time for best seed quality and long-term storage. Several types of osmotic and matric priming treatments were investigated to determine the optimal treatment for maximal seed vigor and to test the effects …

Root-zone temperature effects on the nutrient uptake of horticultural crops
… (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Jet Star'), muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. 'Gold Star'), and thornless honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L. var. inermis Willd.) plants grown in Hoagland's No. 1 solution that was held at 24, 27, 30, 33, and 36C RZT. In a second study, I monitored the changes in …

Effect of Cropping Systems on Production and Economic Returns of Ten Vegetable Crops
… oleracea Acephala group, L. cv. Vates), and muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Gold Star) were used with the intercrop system. Snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Provider and Bush Blue Lake), sweet corn (Zea mays Saccharata group, L. cv. Sundance), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea Italica group, …

Identification of fungal species causing powdery mildew on cucurbits, determination of the genetic and pathogenic variations of the fungi and their sensitivity to major powdery mildew fungicides
… Lagenaria sicerarias (gourd), C. melo (muskmelon), Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin), C. maxima and C. moschata (squash), and Citrullus lanatus (watermelon). Powdery mildew is an annually-occurring disease of cucurbits, which causes yield losses up to 50% in Illinois and worldwide. Podosphaera …
