“…Where IAA 800ppm have reported most no of fruits per plant in muskmelon. Similar, findings are seen in Sweet melon [36]. Application of growth regulator i.e, T8(NAA 80ppm) recorded significantly the highest average fruit weight (673.6g) followed by T7 and T6 with 625.6g and 651g which are statistically at par respectively.…”

The present experiment was carried out during Zaid 2021. In order to study the “Effect of Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Indole Acetic Acid on Growth, Yield and Quality of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo. L). The trail was conducted at Biotechnology polyhouse, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute and Prayagraj. The foliar spray two growth regulators like Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Indole Acetic Acid were spray separately at different concentration (NAA @10ppm, 20ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm, 50 ppm, 60 ppm, 70 ppm, 80 ppm. IAA @ 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 300 ppm, 400 ppm, 500 ppm, 600 ppm, 700 ppm, 800 ppm. The result revealed among all the treatments foliar application of NAA (80 ppm) is significantly gave positive impact on growth, yield and quality parameters. i.e. Vine length (153.96 cm), number of days for 1st male flower (33.6 Days), No. of days for 1st female flower (38.83 Days), No. of Node at which 1st Male flower appears ( 4 . 1 ), No. of Node at which 1st Female flower appears ( 5 . 83) No. of Male flowers (207.33), No. of Female flowers(5.3) fruits per plant (3), diameter of the fruit (22.53 cm), length of the fruit(13.4cm), fruit yield per plant (1.4 kg), fruit yield per hectare (12.46 t), total soluble solids (11.30 Brix°), gross returns (3,73,800 Rs/ha), net returns (2,39,844 Rs/ha) and Benefit: cost ratio (2.79) were obtained among all other treatments with foliar application of NAA @80 ppm compared to other treatments.

“…Alternatively, it is recommended that hormonal pollination strategies are applied, e.g. by spraying auxin parachlorophenolic acetic acid (Elassar et al ., ,b) or indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) (El‐Kholy et al ., ) that may decrease viral spread by the honeybees from the CGMMV primary infection. This strategy, operated in addition to disease management practices including crop rotations, phytosanitation, seed testing, use of intermediate medium and early monitoring and removal of early CGMMV‐infected plants (Reingold et al ., ), may ensure control over the disease.…”

The honeybee Apis mellifera contributes to Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus spread via pollination

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The tobamovirus Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is efficiently transmitted between plants by mechanical contact. So far, no clear evidence has been reported regarding the transmission potential of the virus by beneficial pollinator insects. This study examined the capability of the well-known pollinator honeybee Apis mellifera to transmit CGMMV in cucurbits using melon and cucumber plants as a model. In order to provide a clear answer to that question, five experiments were designed on various scales performed under three environmental conditions. The results show that under protected cropping conditions, CGMMV is transmitted by the honeybees. The location of the beehive in relation to both the CGMMV primary inoculum source and the healthy plants during honeybee foraging plays an important role in the efficiency of CGMMV spread. Furthermore, in the presence of early stage CGMMV-inoculated plants, the efficiency of CGMMV spread to uninoculated plants placed on the honeybees' path to the beehive may increase. To the authors' knowledge, CGMMV transmission by honeybees has not yet been shown, and this study can be adopted for other tobamovirus related research.

Indole-3-acetic acid, ethylene, and abscisic acid metabolism in developing muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit

1996

Hormonal metabolism associated with fruit development in muskmelon was investigated by measuring IAA, ABA, and ACC levels in several tissues at various stages of development. In addition, levels of conjugated IAA and ABA were determined in the same tissues. Ethylene production, which is believed to signal the ripening and senescence of mature fruit, was also measured. Ethylene production was highest in the outer tissue near the rind and gradually declined during maturation, except for a dramatic increase in all fruit tissues at the climacteric. In contrast to ethylene production, ACC levels increased during maturation and remained equal throughout the fruit until the climacteric, when levels in the outer tissues increased nearly 5-fold over levels in the inner tissues. The consistent presence of ACC indicates that ACC oxidase rather than the availability of ACC regulates ethylene production in developing fruits. ABA and ABA esters generally declined during maturation, however an increase in ABA esters associated with the outer mesocarp tissue was observed in fully mature, climacteric fruit. IAA and IAA conjugates were only found in the outer tissue near the rind, and their levels remained low until the fruit was fully mature and entering the climacteric. At that time, increased levels of conjugates were detected. The late burst of hormonal metabolism in the outer mesocarp tissue appeared to signal its degeneration and the deterioration that typically occurs in ripening fruit. The tissue-specific conjugation of IAA and ABA, in addition to the production of climacteric ethylene, may represent part of the signaling mechanism initiating ripening and eventual deterioration of tissues in muskmelon fruits.Abbreviations: ABA = abscisic acid; ACC = 1 -aminocylopropane-1 -carboxylic acid; DAP = days after pollination; IAA = indole-3-acetic acid
