Some Fusaria found on the cowpea, watermelon and carnation
Text from page 1: The economic importance of the Fusarium problem affords a sufficient reason for the study of this genus of fungi. Various wilts, rots and blights are caused by parasitic and saprophytic Fusaria. It is true that wilts may be caused by organisms other than Fusarium but the wilt …

Identification of watermelon mosaic virus in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) in Virginia
… cucurbit species and suggested the virus to be watermelon mosaic virus (WMV). Luffa cylindrica which is susceptible to WMV-1 was systemically infected by WMV from Virginia (designated WMV-V). Two non-cucurbit species Chenopodium amaranticolor and C. quinoa were also susceptible and, like WMV-2 …

How is a Woman Like a Watermelon?: Advocating a Psychological and Comparative Examination of Brautigan's Novels
"How is a Woman Like a Watermelon" examines two of Richard Brautigan's novels, In Watermelon Sugar and An Unfortunate Woman, as they relate to each other in ways that offer a better understanding of each. This paper enriches an understanding of Brautigan's work by exploring the historical context …

COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF GIBBERELLIC ACID AND N(6)-BENZYLADENINE ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF DWARF WATERMELON SEEDLINGS
… enhanced hypocotyl elongation in intact dwarf watermelon seedlings. Accompanying the increase in hypocotyl length was increased expansion of the cotyledons and inhibition of root growth. A study on dry matter partitioning indicated that both hormones caused a preferential mobilization of …

The effect of freeze dried whole watermelon powder on endothelial function and vascular health in older adults
… investigated the effects of freeze dried whole watermelon powder on cardiovascular biomarkers and endothelial health. In a 16-week double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled study design, 38 men and women between the ages of 45 to 79 years old consumed whole freeze dried watermelon powder or …

Identification of key odorants in fresh-cut watermelon aroma and structure-odor relationships of cis,cis-3,6-nonadienal and ester analogs with cis,cis-3,6-nonadiene, cis-3-nonene and cis-6-nonene backbone structures
… the identification of key odorants in fresh cut-watermelon, and the synthesis and evaluation of esters with potential watermelon-like aroma attributes. Aroma formation in fresh-cut watermelon is a dynamic enzymatic process, with the characteristic aroma components being formed immediately after …

Detection of Acidovorax citrulli, the Causal Agent of Bacterial Fruit Blotch Disease of Cucurbits, Prevention via Seed Treatments and Disease Resistance Genes
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai) belong to the family Cucurbitaceae. Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) disease of cucurbits is an economically devastating plant disease that has caused an estimated loss of up to $450M on watermelon crops and $75M …

Archaeological seeds and local varieties of edible fruits: morphology through time
… and nuts found in the same contexts, such as watermelon, bottle gourd, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds and olives were probably related to food trade. [CHAPTER 3] describes the phenotypic characterization achieved by seed features compared with molecular analysis on modern Cucumis melo …

TRACKING PLANT VIRUS INFECTIONS THROUGH MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS: A SEARCH FOR SOURCES OF NONPERSISTENT VIRUS VECTORS AND RESERVOIRS AT LOCAL AND REGIONAL SCALES
… in cucurbits (papaya ringspot virus type-W, watermelon mosaic virus type-2, zucchini yellow mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus) and concurrently monitoring aphid species alightment in fields throughout Indiana. Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) was the most common infection, detected in all but …

Specialty crop sensitivity to dicamba
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are important specialty crops, accounting for 4% of the total agricultural crops sales in 2019 (USDA-NASS). Production continues to grow, as the sales these three crops generated increased from 30% of …

Construction and analysis of the pangenome of Cucurbita moschata to uncover variants associated with virus resistance
… by several potyviruses, including Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus (MWMV), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), and papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). The development of molecular markers linked to virus resistance can greatly assist breeding programs through marker-assisted selection (MAS). This …

Destruction of algae-produced taste-and-odor compounds by chlorine, potassium permanganate, and chlorine dioxide
… linoleic acid (odorless), and linolenic acid (watermelon). All seven compounds were oxidized and evaluated by a trained flavor panel for sensory analysis. Because the three oxidants used in this study produced substantial changes in the odors of linoleic acid and linolenic acid, test solutions …

Independent Visions of Marginal America: Reimagining a Nation Through Outsiders, Searching, and Non-Arrival
… Gummo, Stroszek, Chan is Missing, and The Watermelon Woman (1996). Transnationality reflects in the content and production of many “outsider” films; therefore my study replaces the category American films with films in and about America. These films about America are threaded together by …

Maize R gene Rxo1 Confers Disease Resistance on Pepper and Nicotiana benthamiana
… diseases in cucurbit crops, including melon and watermelon. A better understanding of the virulence and avirulence functions of T3Es in A. citrulli helps breeders engineer crop resistance to BFB. To this end, a clean genetic background of A. citrulli with multiple effector genes deleted is …
