Growth and defense enzyme responses of grafted cucurbit crops to varying initial populations of Meloidogyne incognita.
Key Points
This research aims to investigate the enzyme responses of grafted cucurbit crops to different populations of Meloidogyne incognita.
Enzyme activity profiling conducted on grafted cucurbit crops
Assessment of growth losses associated with varying Meloidogyne incognita populations
Analysis of biochemical indicators related to partial resistance
Increased enzyme activity correlates with higher resistance to Meloidogyne incognita
Grafted crops show reduced growth losses in response to lower nematode populations
Biochemical indicators provide valuable insights for cucurbit breeding programs
Abstract
multiplication and associated growth losses, while enzyme activity profiling provides a useful biochemical indicator of partial resistance in cucurbit breeding and management programs.
