Abstract:

In commercial watermelon production, grafting enhances stress resistance, increases yield, and improves fruit quality, but genotypes of rootstocks limit broader adoption. This study evaluated the effects of six rootstock grafting treatments (A1: 'Taiwan Known You', A2: 'Xizhen No. 1', A3: 'Golden mama 168', A4: 'Gold partner', A5: 'Snow vine No. 2', A6: 'Strong green snow') and self-rooted cultivation (CK) on 'Jinhua No. 1' watermelon on fruit appearance, texture, flavor, and nutritional attributes. A5 treatment improved fruit appearance, texture and characteristic aroma more than other treatments. Compared with CK, A5 treatment also significantly increased the content of fructose, glucose, malic acid, ascorbic acid, α-carotene and lutein in the fruit, with increases of 4.34%, 3.01%, 6.05%, 11.11%, 23.46% and 8.27% respectively. Furthermore, A5 treatment enhanced the expression of organic acid biosynthesis and carotenoid metabolic pathways gene. These findings offer valuable theoretical insights into rootstock-scion interactions and aid in selecting superior rootstocks to enhance watermelon quality.

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Coordination Number and Geometry

Coordination Number and Geometry

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Brick Durability, Strength, and Appearance

Brick Durability, Strength, and Appearance

Brick durability, strength, and appearance are crucial factors in construction, influencing the choice of bricks for specific applications. The process of freeze-thaw, for instance, significantly affects brick durability. This phenomenon occurs when water absorbed by a brick expands as it freezes, potentially causing damage when it melts and refreezes. Bricks are graded for durability: SW-grade bricks are the most durable, offering high strength and low water absorption, followed by MW-grade...

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...
