Seed priming with salicylic acid enhances growth, physiological traits, fruit yield, and quality parameters of cantaloupe under water-deficit stress
2022, South African Journal of BotanyCitation Excerpt :Our present results are consistent with the findings of Alam et al. (2021a) who reported a drastic reduction in fruit yield parameters, such as fruit length, fruit diameter, and fruit weight, of cantaloupe under water-deficit conditions. Poor yield in cantaloupe due to soil moisture deficit has been also observed by Maestro and Alvarez (1988), which has been reported to be a cumulative consequence of poor vegetative growth and inadequate development of reproductive, physiological, and biochemical traits induced by water-deficit condition (Fabeiro et al., 2002; Long et al., 2006; Dogan et al., 2008; Cabello et al., 2009; Alam et al., 2021a). Seed priming with SA was beneficial across soil moisture regimes and 300 ppm SA priming dose had an overall better result compared with other doses.
Effect of seed priming with potassium nitrate on growth, fruit yield, quality and water productivity of cantaloupe under water-deficit stress
2021, Scientia HorticulturaeCitation Excerpt :These results could be attributed to an overall reduction in physiological and biochemical activities induced by water-deficit stress, which is also supported by the findings of Long et al. (2006), Dogan et al. (2008), Cabello et al. (2009) and Alam et al. (2020) in cantaloupe. Maestro and Alvarez (1988) also reported an inferior quality of fruit setting in cantaloupe due to very hot weather or water-deficit stress. In well-watered conditions, cantaloupe is highly productive (Sharma et al., 2014), but under water-deficit conditions, fruit yield (Fabeiro et al., 2002; Cabello et al., 2009) and fruit quality (Lester et al., 1994; Long et al., 2006) of cantaloupe are adversely affected.
Response of in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth of almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.) to temperature, polyamines and polyamine synthesis inhibitor
2011, Biochemical Systematics and EcologyCitation Excerpt :In our work, however 10 °C was more inhibiting without the polyamines, but 35 °C was generally inhibitory even with the polyamines. Maestro and Alvarez (1988) reported that in Cucumis melo L., high temperature caused irregular and non-homogeneous pollen germination. They also indicated that pollen failed to germinate in vivo at high temperatures.
