Abstract:
... Melon is a popular fruit vegetable crop worldwide with diverse morphological variation. We report a high-density genetic map of melon and nine major QTLs with physical region ranging from 43.47 kb to 1.89 Mb. Importantly, two seed-related trait QTLs were repeatedly detected in two environments, and the mapping region was narrowed to 522 kb according to a regional linkage analysis. A total of 40 an ...

Abstract:
... Capsicum, an important vegetable crop in Queensland, Australia, is vulnerable to both elevated temperatures and capsicum chlorosis virus (CaCV). Thus, it is imperative to understand the genetic responses of capsicum plants (Capsicum annuum) to CaCV under elevated temperature conditions. Here, we challenged susceptible plants (cv. Yolo Wonder) with CaCV and investigated the effects of elevated temp ...

Abstract:
... Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) is an internationally acclaimed vegetable crop that is grown worldwide. However, drought stress is one of the most critical challenges for tomato production, and it is a crucial task for agricultural biotechnology to produce drought-resistant cultivars. Although breeders have done a lot of work on the tomato to boost quality and quantity of production and enhance resi ...

Abstract:
... Tomato, a widely consumed vegetable crop, offers a real potential to combat human nutritional deficiencies. Tomatoes are rich in micronutrients and other bioactive compounds (including vitamins, carotenoids, and minerals) that are known to be essential or beneficial for human health. This review highlights the current state of the art in the molecular understanding of the nutritional aspects, conv ...
... The agricultural marketing matrix has gradually changed over the years due to crop diversification and increasing reliance on non-farm livelihood as a coping strategy by the rural community. Declining landholding size coupled with increasing input cost of cultivation has led to a situation when cultivators have no option but to grow more remunerative horticulture crops like vegetables. The rotatio ...

Abstract:
... Capsicum annuum, a valuable spice and vegetable crop belonging to the Solanaceae family, is extensively grown across the Indian subcontinent. Chilli production is restricted by a begomoviral infection named as chilli leaf curl disease (ChiLCD) mainly in tropical and subtropical regions which leads to considerable economic losses, thus affecting chilli cultivation. Here, we studied the genetic dive ...
... Melon (Cucumis melo L., 2n = 24) belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae and is an important vegetable crop. This study aimed to investigate the quantitative trait loci (QTL) of flowering‐related traits to understand the genetic inheritance and candidate gene of flowering‐related traits. The specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF‐seq) technology was used to construct a genetic map of 115 ...
... The growing world population will increase the demand for new sustainable foods and ingredients. Here we studied the safety and tolerance of Lemna minor, a new sustainable vegetable crop from the duckweed family. Twenty-four healthy adults consumed either L. minor plant material or spinach as vegetable (170 g fresh weight) as part of a warm meal on 11 consecutively days in a randomized controlled ...

Abstract:
... High pesticide use causes environmental and human health hazards. Yet, the change to alternative crop protection practices faces a web of interacting barriers that results in a sociotechnical lock-in. Designing “coupled innovation” has been proposed by agricultural scientists to overcome the barriers that prevent change in practices. Coupled innovations consist of developing jointly innovations bo ...
... The lablab bean or ‘Kacang sepat’ is a food crop originating from India and is commonly found in tropical areas such as Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines due to its adaptability. However, in Malaysia, lablab is grown as a backyard crop, and the area cultivated with this crop is still limited. Lablab has the potential to become a commercial vegetable crop in Malaysia due to its high protein c ...
... Little is known about the effects of inoculation with beneficial microorganisms under diversified crop rotations on agronomic performance of the high-value vegetable crop tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the interactive effect of crop precession with two native species, faba bean (Leguminosae) and barley (Graminaceae), and inoculations with commer ...

Mountain celery (Heracleum moellendorffii Hance), an edible perennial herb of Northeast Asia, is sporadically cultivated as a vegetable crop or for medicinal purposes in Northeast China and Korea (Son 2020). In July 2019, a small field of mountain celery showing chlorotic spots was found in Wangkui, Heilongjiang, China. A small-RNA (sRNA) library was constructed with equal amounts of leaf tissues ...

Abstract:
... The adoption of improved agricultural production technologies can be an appropriate approach in meeting the demand for vegetables. Indigenous and exotic vegetable farmers were selected for comparison because they are perceived to differ in scale and purpose of production, and resistance to field conditions which could lead to differences in the adoption of production technologies. Primary data fro ...

Abstract:
... Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is an important vegetable crop that is cultivated worldwide. Previously, we reported the identification of two dominant complementary hybrid lethality (HL) genes in cabbage that could result in the death of hybrids. To avoid such losses in the breeding process, we attempted to develop molecular markers to identify HL lines. Among 54 previous mapping markers closely link ...

Abstract:
... The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the main vegetable crop in India, belonging to the family Solanaceae. Potato is considered to be very drought sensitive and drought stress even occurs underirrigated potato production. Hence, yields are frequently constrained by drought in most of theenvironments. Short stress period during the tuber bulking period often lead to malformation such as Knobby, dum ...
