Trichomes, developed from the protodermal cells (the outermost cell layer of embryo), are hair-like structures covering aerial parts plants. The genetic network regulating trichome development has been extensively studied and well understood in model species Arabidopsis thaliana, which bears unicellular, non-glandular branched trichomes. However, little is known about molecular basis organogenesis multi-cellular trichomes plant like cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), likely different...
Garlic (Allium sativum), an asexually propagated vegetable and medicinal crop, has abundant genetic variation. Genetic diversity evaluation based on molecular markers apparent advantages since their genomic abundance, environment insensitivity, non-tissue specific features. However, the limited number of available DNA markers, especially SSR are insufficient to conduct related assessment studies in garlic. In this study, 4372 EST-SSR were newly developed, 12 polymorphic together with other...
Relay intercropping represents an alternative for sustainable production of vegetables, but the changes internally antioxidant defense combined with growth and yield are not clear. Field experiment was carried out to investigate malondialdehyde (MDA) content activity levels superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) plant height, stem diameter, maximal leaf area, grown under successive cropping...
Cover crops are key determinants of the ecological stability and sustainability continuous cropping soils. However, their agro-ecological role in differentially reshaping microbiome structure functioning under a degraded agroecosystem remains poorly investigated. Therefore, structural metabolic changes soil bacterial community composition response to diverse plant species were assessed. Winter catch leafy vegetables introduced as cover plants cucumber-fallow period. The results indicate that...
A pot-based experiment was conducted to investigate nutrient concentrations in cucumber plants intercropped with various amounts of green garlic. In addition, the soil contents were studied over two consecutive growing seasons. The results revealed that accumulation biomass and nutritional elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) manganese (Mn) significantly increased for intercropping treatments during seasons compared monoculture. Conversely, magnesium (Mg)...
Abstract Continuous cropping obstacle is prevalent for protected cultivated cucumber in China. Intercropping garlic may effectively relieve this due to its allelopathic and antimicrobial effects. A two-growing season investigation was carried out during autumn 2009 spring 2010 plastic tunnel determine the effects of intercropped green on overall growth soil biological properties. Results showed that exhibited inhibitory effect cultivation 2010. Garlic–cucumber intercropping system increased...
Biostimulants are the next-generation choice for sustainable agricultural production and gradually becoming an alternative to synthetic chemicals. Various botanicals proposed exert stimulatory effects, garlic allelochemicals among such botanicals; however, a peer-reviewed scientific evaluation is required understand garlic-derived substances as biostimulants. Current studies were therefore performed identify bioactivity of extract biostimulant improve crop quality, alter its physiological...
Diallyl disulfide (DADS) is a volatile organosulfur compound derived from garlic (Allium sativum L.), and it known as an allelochemical responsible for the strong allelopathic potential of garlic. The anticancer properties DADS have been studied in experimental animals various types cancer cells, but to date, little about its mode action at cytological level. current research presents further studies on effects tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seed germination, root growth, mitotic index,...
Soil sickness is a critical problem for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under continuous cropping that affects sustainable production. Relay intercropping significant technique on promoting soil quality, improving eco-environment, and raising output. Field experiments were conducted from September 2010 to November 2012 in northwest China determine the effects of relay with garlic (Allium sativum enzyme activities, available nutrient contents, pH value plastic tunnel. Three treatments...
Fruit size and shape are important qualities yield traits in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), but the factors that influence fruit remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated dynamic changes of from aspects morphology, cellular levels endogenous hormones for nine typical inbred lines. The results show length had a strong positive correlation cell number longitudinal section throughout four stages 0, 6, 12, 30 DAA (days after anthesis). However, significant negative correlations were...
Garlic substrate could influence plant growth through affecting soil microbiome structure. The relationship mechanism between changes in microbial communities, disease suppression and development, however, remains unclear, particularly the degraded micro-ecological environment. In this study, garlic substrates as a amendment were incorporated with different ratios (1:100, 3:100 5:100 g/100 g of soil) replanted disturbed long-term cucumber monoculture (annual double cropping system...
Garlic is an allelopathic crop that can alleviate the obstacles to continuous cropping of vegetable crops. Diallyl disulfide (DADS), one most important allelochemicals in garlic, promotes tomato root growth. Therefore, global transcriptome profiles DADS-treated roots over time were investigated reveal potential growth-promoting mechanisms. We detected 1828, 1296 and 1190 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) 4, 24 48 h samples, respectively. Most DEGs involved assimilatory sulfate reduction...
Salinity is one of the major obstacles in agriculture industry causing huge losses productivity. Several strategies such as plant growth regulators with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been used to decrease negative effects salt stress. In our experiment, 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) spraying intervals was combined AMF (Glomus versiforme) cucumber cultivars Jinyou 1# (salt sensitive) and (Changchun mici, short, CCMC, tolerant) under NaCl (100 mmol/L). Studies documented that foliar...
Continuous cropping obstacles seriously affect the sustainable production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Researchers have found that intercropping with garlic (Allium sativum L.) could alleviate tomato continuous obstacles. Diallyl disulfide (DADS) is main allelochemical in garlic. However, mechanism DADS alleviating still unknown. In this research, aqueous extracts soil were used to simulate condition tomato. Our results showed increased root activity and chlorophyll content...
Abstract Low temperature (LT) and high humidity (HH) are important environmental factors in greenhouses plastic tunnels during the cold season, as they hamper plant growth development. Here, we studied effect of LT (day/night: 9/5 °C, 25/18 °C control) HH (95%, 80% on young cucumber plants at 2, 4 or 6 leaf stages. LT+HH stress resulted a decline shoot, root total fresh dry weights, decreased P n , g s T r F v /F m qP, ETR chlorophyll, increased MDA, H 2 O ‐ NPQ C i compared to control...
Vegetable production under plastic sheds severely threatens regional eco-sustainability via anthropogenic activities (excessive use of agrochemicals, pesticides) and problems associated with replanting. Long-term successive cropping across growing seasons induces continuous stress, whose effects manifest as diminished plant growth. Therefore, it is imperative that we develop environmentally sustainable approaches, such replacing agrochemicals vegetable waste like dry raw garlic stalk (DRGS)...
