The Cucurbitaceae family (cucurbit) includes several economically important crops, such as melon, cucumber, watermelon, pumpkin, squash and gourds. During the past years, genomic genetic data have been rapidly accumulated for cucurbits. To store, mine, analyze, integrate disseminate these large-scale datasets to provide a central portal cucurbit research breeding community, we developed Cucurbit Genomics Database (CuGenDB; http://cucurbitgenomics.org) using Tripal toolkit. database currently...
According to historical records of transatlantic slavery, traders forcibly deported an estimated 12.5 million people from ports along the Atlantic coastline Africa between 16th and 19th centuries, with global impacts reaching present day, more than a century half after slavery's abolition. Such have fueled broad understanding forced migration Americas yet remain underexplored in concert genetic data. Here, we analyzed genotype array data 50,281 research participants, which—combined shipping...
Cucurbitaceae, the gourd family of flowering plants, is a very large and diverse family, order Cucurbitales, contains 95 genera 950–980 species food ornamental wild weedy mostly with high genetic diversity. This review focused on most important cucurbit crops (Cucumis sativus, Cucumis melo, Cucurbita spp., Citrullus lanatus, Momordica charantia, Lagenaria siceraria, Luffa acutangula) some their relatives as hosts powdery mildews (CPM). Powdery (PM) (Ascomycota, Erysiphales) are one...
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a phenotypically diverse eudicot diploid (2n = 2x 24) has climacteric and non-climacteric morphotypes show wide variation for fruit firmness, an important trait transportation shelf life. We generated 13,789 SNP markers using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) anchored them to chromosomes understand genome-wide fixation indices (Fst) between various melon genomewide linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay. The FST accessions of cantalupensis inodorus was 0.23. agrestis in...
Powdery mildew is a serious disease of melon ( Cucumis melo L.) worldwide. Twenty-two cultigens have been used to define 22 reported races the pathogen Podosphaera xanthii (sect. Sphaerotheca ) (Castag.) U. Braun & N. Shish. Comb. nov. [syn. fuliginea (Schlecht. ex Fr.) Poll.]. Discrepancies in reactions eight populations P. 1 and 2 California, Japan, Spain revealed genetic differences among them that can be differentiate race these countries. Implicit results existence previously...
Abstract Unique architectural phenotypes have the potential for increasing yield in commercial melon ( Cucumis melo L.). Therefore, a generation means analysis was conducted to investigate inheritance of traits (days anthesis, primary branch number, fruit number and weight, average weight per fruit). Progeny (F 1 , F 2 BC P ) from cross between US Department Agriculture (USDA) line, USDA 846‐1 (P ‘TopMark’ were evaluated at Arlington (AR) Hancock (HCK), Wisconsin 2001. Significant ≤ 0.05)...
Abstract Seven previously undescribed genes in muskmelon ( Cucumis melo L.) for resistance to powdery mildew [ Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht. ex Fr.) Poll., races 1 and 2] are reported. Progeny 92417 has a recessive gene race 1, which is nonallelic Pm-1 . Breeding line WMR 29 that allelic the 92417, but it not known whether two identical alleles. Plant introduction 414723, differentiated isolates of S. 2 at Montfavet, France, Riverside, Calif. Comparative responses F , BC progenies from...
Abstract The melon (or cotton) aphid ( Aphis gossypii Glover), an economically important pest throughout the world (1), is vector of muskmelon viruses (6), and often causes damage by feeding large populations on this favored host (7). Resistance to was found in PI 371795 from India (4).
The onion cultivar ‘Nebuka’ had 48, 72, and 67% fewer adult thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, caught on sticky-card traps than cultivars ‘Texas Early Grano 502’ ‘951,’ ‘Creole,’ respectively. Number of larval thrips per plant was a better indicator hostplant resistance number adults sticky-cards or taken from foliage, the total plant. Damage rating for Nebuka 5.0 compared with 9.0, 8.9, 8.5 Texas 502, 951, Creole Morphological characters described over 40 yr ago as factors regulating...
Cucurbits comprise the highly diverse family known as Cucurbitaceae that includes cultivated, feral, and wild species (Robinson Decker-Walters, 1997). Many of cultivated such squash (Cucurbita ssp.), watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai], cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), melon melo L.) are familiar to U.S. world markets. Others bitter gourd (Momordica charantia less in United States. more broadly than any other vegetable after tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. ( ). exhibit...
Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV; genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae) was identified in the melon (Cucumis melo) production regions of desert southwestern United States fall 2006. It is now well established region, where it transmitted efficiently by sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci biotype B (MEAM1). In order to evaluate spread and establishment virus, nearly all spring cucurbit fields planted Imperial Valley California from 2007 2009 were surveyed representative...
Abstract Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) is a billion‐dollar industry in the United States, with California and Arizona producing over 90%. Fusarium wilt (FW), caused by oxysporum f. sp. lactucae (Fol) race 1, major disease of lettuce worldwide. Genetic resistance most sustainable practice for FW control. With objective combatting this challenge, we report registration six breeding lines: 15631 (Reg. no. GP‐12, PI 691904), 15632 GP‐13, 691905), 15633 GP‐14, 691906), 15634 GP‐15, 691907), 15669...
