Comparative anatomical studies of the melons in this family is presented together for the first time with variations in the number of tissues in the different varieties of Citrullus lanatus -watermelon found in Nigeria. (scialert.net)
The three species, Cucumis melo, Cucumeropsis mannii, Cucurbita moschata and the different varieties of the species, C. lanatus studied are economically important. (scialert.net)
One species, C. lanatus , is widely cultivated and a casual or locally naturalized in many parts of the Tropics and Subtropics. (cucurbit.de)
Siceraria4
Others such as Lagenaria siceraria (calabash, bottle gourd) and Luffa cylindrica (loofah) are cultivated for making items of utility such as drinking vessels, cooking pots, utensils, bath sponge, in industrial filters and in sound insulation ( Heiser Jr., 1979 ). (scialert.net)
Nakai, Cucumeropsis mannii Naudin and Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl. (ac.be)
mucosospermus , Cucumeropsis mannii and Lagenaria siceraria cv. (ac.be)
NMR analysis reveals a wealth of metabolites in root-knot nematode resistant roots of Citrullus amarus watermelon plants. (usda.gov)
Cucurbitaceae5
The Cucurbitaceae (IPA: /kukuɾbitɑt͡ʃɛɛ/) , also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera. (wikipedia.org)
The family Cucurbitaceae ranks among the highest of plant families for number and percentage of species used as human food. (wikipedia.org)
The detailed anatomy of four species and three varieties of melons in an interesting and somewhat unusual family, Cucurbitaceae is presented. (scialert.net)
Comparative and systematic studies on the anatomy of the root, stem and leaf of all the melon species belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family in Nigeria is being presented together for the first time. (scialert.net)
The aim of this study is to carry out in depth anatomical studies of the root, stem and leaf of the different species of the family Cucurbitaceae with a view to providing features that may be of taxonomic value in their identification and classification. (scialert.net)
There are about 120 genera and more than 800 species, but in Nigeria, it is represented by 21 genera and 41 species ( Hutchinson and Dalziel, 1954 ). (scialert.net)
Phylogenetically, Citrullus is placed in the tribe Benincaseae, where it groups with the African genera Peponium and Lagenaria (Schaefer et al. (cucurbit.de)
Crops1
Egusi species are cultivated in plain field or in home gardens, either in monoculture or in association with other crops. (ac.be)
Vegetables3
Their fruits are eaten mainly as vegetables, though some species produce fruits which are eaten as a dessert. (scialert.net)
Some species are raised as gluten free pseudograin while other species are used as vegetables in some countries. (gvgo.ca)
The aim of this study was to estimate the contamination level of pesticide residues in summer season fruits and vegetables. (cabi.org)
Ornamentals1
Some species are cultivated as garden ornamentals. (scialert.net)
Fleshy2
Fruits are usually large and fleshy, berry or pepo, or a fleshy or dry capsule. (scialert.net)
The fruit is large, globose or oblong, fleshy or dry, indehiscent, glabrous or covered with prominent spines and contains many oblong, compressed, smooth seeds with pale yellowish‚ blackish or brown testa. (cucurbit.de)
Herbs1
The species are annual or perennial herbs, characterized by a very extensive root system which ramifies in the surface soil. (scialert.net)
The fruit is often a kind of modified berry called a pepo. (wikipedia.org)
Green1
Cabbage belongs to the Brassica oleracea species and for competition purposes the green variety of the Linne cultivar is used. (gvgo.ca)
Parts1
Parts of each species (root, stem and leaf) were sectioned with a rotary microtome at 20 to 24 μm thickness after fixation and wax embedding. (scialert.net)
Important1
C. mannii est généralement cultivée en association et joue un rôle social très important dans les communautés Nagot-Yoruba. (ac.be)
Cucumber2
Cucurbits are a diverse plant family that includes economically important crops, such as cucumber, watermelon, melon, and pumpkin. (bvsalud.org)
Insertion time and copy number analysis revealed that an LTR-RT burst occurred approximately 2 million years ago in cucumber, watermelon, melon, and Cucurbita, and may have contributed to their genome size variation. (bvsalud.org)
Melon4
Nitrogen plays a major role in the yield and quality of melon and watermelon plants. (ishs.org)
Two experiments were carried out to determine if grafting melon and mini-watermelon onto commercial rootstocks could enhance crop performance and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of grafted melon and mini-watermelon plants under open field conditions. (ishs.org)
Fruit dry matter (DM) and total soluble solids (TSS) contents of grafted melon were slightly inferior to those of ungrafted plants, whereas the fruit DM and TSS contents of grafted mini-watermelon were similar to those of the plants grown on their own roots. (ishs.org)
Hence grafting melon and mini-watermelon plants onto selected rootstocks can be used as a quick and effective method to improve productivity, NUE, and to reduce environmental pollution. (ishs.org)
Percentage1
The family Cucurbitaceae ranks among the highest of plant families for number and percentage of species used as human food. (wikipedia.org)
