| detection of ethylene receptor protein cm-ers1 during fruit development in melon (cucumis melo l.). | antibodies against melon ethylene receptor, cm- ers1 was prepared. cm-ers1 protein formed a disulphide-linked homodimer and it was present in microsomal membranes but not in soluble fractions. cm-ers1 protein was present at high levels in melon fruit during early developmental stages. this transition pattern was also observed in another melon cultivar. | 2002 | 11847239 |
| genetic control of fruit shape acts prior to anthesis in melon ( cucumis melo l.). | genetic control of fruit shape in cucumis melo was studied using qtl analysis in two recombinant inbred (ri) populations consisting of 163 and 63 individuals, respectively, obtained by crossing the same round-fruited parent with two different elongated-fruit lines. fruit shape is mainly explained by fruit length in these two populations. most qtls for fruit shape and ovary shape detected were found to co-segregate, thus demonstrating early control of fruit shape during ovary development. a high ... | 2002 | 11862487 |
| ultraviolet induced stress response in fresh cut cantaloupe. | changes in the composition of volatile compounds in cantaloupe melon (cucumis melo l. var. reticulatus) as a result of uv induced stress were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). several volatile ester compounds were present, of which twenty-seven were identified in fresh cut cantaloupe. fruit exposure to uv light decreased the concentrations of most of the aliphatic esters by over 60% of the amounts present in the corresponding fresh cut fruit. cyclic and acyclic terpenoi ... | 2002 | 11985848 |
| molecular and genetic characterization of a non-climacteric phenotype in melon reveals two loci conferring altered ethylene response in fruit. | fruit ripening and abscission are associated with an ethylene burst in several melon (cucumis melo) genotypes. in cantaloupe as in other climacteric fruit, exogenous ethylene can prematurely induce abscission, ethylene production, and ripening. melon genotypes without fruit abscission or without ethylene burst also exist and are, therefore, non-climacteric. in the nonabscising melon fruit pi 161375, exogenous ethylene failed to stimulate abscission, loss of firmness, ethylene production, and exp ... | 2002 | 12011360 |
| isolation and identification of a phosphate deficiency-induced c-glycosylflavonoid that stimulates arbuscular mycorrhiza formation in melon roots. | melon (cucumis melo) roots were inoculated with or without the arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungus glomus caledonium under low phosphate conditions. high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the secondary metabolites in butanol extracts from roots revealed that the level of one compound in noninoculated roots showed a significant increase from 30 days postinoculation. no accumulation was observed in mycorrhizal roots and high-phosphate-supplemented roots, indicating that the accumulation ... | 2002 | 12026171 |
| cloning of disease-resistance homologues in end sequences of bac clones linked to fom-2, a gene conferring resistance to fusarium wilt in melon (cucumis melo l.). | disease resistance has not yet been characterized at the molecular level in cucurbits, a group of high-value, nutritious, horticultural plants. previously, we genetically mapped the fom-2 gene that confers resistance to fusarium wilt races 0 and i of melon. in this paper, two cosegregating codominant markers (am, aflp marker; fm, fusarium marker) were used to screen a melon bacterial artificial chromosome (bac) library. identified clones were fingerprinted and end sequenced. fingerprinting analy ... | 2002 | 12033615 |
| effect of storage on some volatile aroma compounds in fresh-cut cantaloupe melon. | changes in volatile aroma constituents of fresh-cut cantaloupe melon with storage were determined by headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. the compounds isolated from the fruit immediately after cutting were predominantly aliphatic and aromatic esters. storage of fruit at 4 degrees c caused a considerable decrease in concentration of esters and synthesis of the terpenoid compounds beta-ionone and geranylacetone over a period of 24 h. this change in the volat ... | 2002 | 12083880 |
| relationship of cell surface charge and hydrophobicity to strength of attachment of bacteria to cantaloupe rind. | the cantaloupe melon has been associated with outbreaks of salmonella infections. it is suspected that bacterial surface charge and hydrophobicity may affect bacterial attachment and complicate bacterial detachment from cantaloupe surfaces. the surface charge and hydrophobicity of strains of salmonella, escherichia coli (o157:h7 and non-o157:h7), and listeria monocytogenes were determined by electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, respectively. initial bacterial attachment to c ... | 2002 | 12117240 |
| characterization of an abscisic acid responsive gene homologue from cucumis melo. | a cdna and genomic dna encoding an abscisic acid responsive gene (asr) homologue (asr1) was isolated from an inodorus melon, cucumis melo var. kuwata, cdna and genomic library. the asr1 gene showed the strongest fruit-specific expression and differential expression profiles during fruit development, which were expressed from a low copy gene. the promoter region of the asr1 gene contained several putative functional cis-elements, which may be involved in the response to plant hormones and environ ... | 2002 | 12379794 |

| genetics of ethylene biosynthesis and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (rflps) of acc oxidase and synthase genes in melon ( cucumis melo l.). | we investigated the genetics of ethylene biosynthesis and its linkage to the rflps of the acc oxidase and synthase genes in melon ( cucumis melo l.). the results suggested that the a(0) and b(0) fragments of rflp-mel1 of the acc oxidase gene were two alleles from a single locus, as were the b and c fragments of rflp-meacs1 of the acc synthase gene. the b(0) allele seemed to be partially dominant over the a(0) allele, whereas b and c alleles appeared to map to quantitative trait loci (qtls), whic ... | 2002 | 12582544 |
| a reference map of cucumis melo based on two recombinant inbred line populations. | a composite genetic melon map was generated based on two recombinant inbred line (ri) populations. by analyzing the segregation of 346 aflps, 113 imas and phenotypic characters on a ri population of 163 individuals derived from the cross védrantais x pi 161375, a first map was constructed. about 20% of the molecular markers were skewed, and the residual heterozygosity was estimated at 4.43% which was not significantly different from the theoretical value of 4.2%. the genome distribution of molec ... | 2002 | 12582608 |
| resistance gene homologues in melon are linked to genetic loci conferring disease and pest resistance. | genomic and cdna fragments with homology to known disease resistance genes (rgh fragments) were cloned from cucumis melo using degenerate-primer pcr. fifteen homologues of the nbs-lrr gene family have been isolated. the nbs-lrr homologues show high divergence and, based on the partial nbs-fragment sequences, appear to include members of the two major subfamilies that have been described in dicot plants, one that possesses a tir-protein element and one that lacks such a domain. genomic organizati ... | 2002 | 12582612 |
| detection of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme a reductase protein cm-hmgr during fruit development in melon ( cucumis melo l.). | the fruit size of melon ( cucumis melo l. reticulatus) is determined by the amount of cell proliferation in the pericarp during early fruit development. during this stage, expression and activity of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme a reductase (hmgr) gene is required for fruit growth. in this study, we performed a detailed analysis of the correlation between the expression of melon hmgr (cm-hmgr) protein and cell division in the pericarp. flow cytometric analysis revealed that the length ... | 2002 | 12582637 |
| powdery mildew (sphaerotheca fuliginea) resistance in melon is selectable at the haploid level. | the major cause of powdery mildew in melons (cucumis melo l.) is the fungus sphaerotheca fuliginea. there are several cultivar- and season-specific races of this fungus. in order to control powdery mildew, it is important to introduce resistance to fungal infection into new cultivars during melon breeding. haploid breeding is a powerful tool for the production of pure lines. in this study, it was investigated whether powdery mildew resistance could be manifested at the haploid level from two dis ... | 2003 | 12598576 |
| identification and characterisation of a melon genomic region containing a resistance gene cluster from a constructed bac library. microcolinearity between cucumis melo and arabidopsis thaliana. | a bacterial artificial chromosome (bac) library from the dihaploid melon line 'pit92' was constructed with a 6 times coverage of the haploid melon genome. a contig of four bacs around the mrgh63 resistance gene homologue fragment was created. the complete sequence of a 117-kb bac clone allowed to determine two clearly defined regions, the first one containing a cluster of three resistance gene homologues. separated by a retrotransposon, that contains large long terminal repeats, the second regio ... | 2003 | 12678558 |
| evaluation of aroma compounds contributing to muskmelon flavor in porapak q extracts by aroma extract dilution analysis. | the flavor of the miyabi variety of japanese muskmelon was extracted according to the porapak q column method (pqm) and evaluated by using aroma extract dilution analysis (aeda) method. the overall odor of the pqm extracts was perceived as having a natural muskmelon-like odor, suggesting that the pqm was able to extract volatile compounds in muskmelon fruit without degradation of original flavor. forty-six odorant compounds [kovats index (ki), 961 < or = ki < or = 2605] were found by gc-sniffing ... | 2003 | 12744676 |
| binary transformation systems based on 'shooter' mutants of agrobacterium tumefaciens: a simple, efficient and universal gene transfer technology that permits marker gene elimination. | a simple transformation procedure with a positive selection scheme using the expression of the isopentenyl transferase ( ipt) gene of transfer dna (t-dna) 'shooter' mutants of agrobacterium tumefaciens was elaborated. after comparing several 'shooter' mutants we found that particular strains frequently produced phenotypically normal shoots after co-culturing with tobacco leaf explants. shoots selected for normal phenotype showed apical dominance and could be rooted with the same efficiency as no ... | 2003 | 12789522 |
| identification of cucumisin (cuc m 1), a subtilisin-like endopeptidase, as the major allergen of melon fruit. | allergenic components in melon extracts have not been described in spite of the fact that melon (cucumis melo) is a frequent allergy-eliciting fruit. the aim of this study was to evaluate allergenic components in melon extract and to report the identification of cucumisin as a major melon allergen. | 2003 | 12801320 |
| aflp analysis of a worldwide collection of didymella bryoniae. | didymella bryoniae (anamorph phoma cucurbitacearum) is an ascomycete that causes gummy stem blight, a foliar disease that occurs on cucurbits in greenhouses and fields throughout the world. in a previous study using rapd analysis, little genetic diversity was found among isolates of d. bryoniae from new york and south carolina, usa. here we report the use of amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) analysis to assess the genetic variation within a worldwide collection of d. bryoniae, 102 fi ... | 2003 | 12825498 |
