Papers should be submitted to the respective Coordinating Committee members by 31 December 1991. The report will be published by June 1992. As always, we are eager to hear from CGC members regarding our current activities and the future direction of CGC. Gary W. Elmstrom (muskmelon) J. Brent Loy (Cucurbita spp.) Dennis T. Ray (watermelon) Mark Hutton (other genera) Todd C. Wehner (cucumber) Timothy J. Ng, chair Comments from the CGC Gene List Committee Lists of known genes for the Cucurbitaceae have been published previously in HortScience and in reports of the Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative. GCG is currently publishing complete lists of known genes for cucumber (Cucumis sativus), muskmelon (Cucumis melo), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), and Cucurbita spp. on a rotating basis. It is hoped that scientists will consult these lists as well as the rules of gene nomenclature for the Cucurbitaceae (see page 140) before selecting a gene name and symbol. Thus, inadvertent duplication of gene names and symbols will be prevented. The rules of gene nomenclature were adopted in order to provide guidelines for the naming and symbolizing of genes previously reported and those that will be reported in the future. Scientists are urged to contact members of the Gene List Committee regarding questions in interpreting the nomenclature rules and in naming and symbolizing new genes.

  • Effects of Cucumis Metuliferus (Cucurbitaceae) Fruits on Enzymes and Haematological Parameters in Albino Rats
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 6 (22) pp. 2515-2518, 19 November, 2007 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2007 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Effects of Cucumis metuliferus (Cucurbitaceae) fruits on enzymes and haematological parameters in albino rats Noel N. Wannang*, Nanloh S. Jimam, Simeon Omale, Maxwell L. P. Dapar, Steven S. Gyang and John C. Aguiyi Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Jos, Nigeria. Accepted 24 October, 2007 The effects of the powdered fruits of Cucumis metuliferus on enzymes and haematological indices were evaluated in adult albino rats. The study revealed a significant (P<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in white blood cells (WBC) count. 500 mg/kg body weight of the powdered fruit produced a significant (P<0.05) decrease in red blood cells (RBC), and an increase in platelet and haemoglobin (Hb), while there was an insignificant (P>0.05) decrease in clotting and bleeding time. 1000 mg/kg produced significant (P<0.05) increase in RBC, platelets, Hb and packed cell volume (PCV) values, and an insignificant (P>0.05) decrease in clotting and bleeding time. The biochemical parameters evaluation showed that 500 - 1000 mg/kg of the powdered fruit of the plant produced a dose-dependent significant (P<0.05) increase in the levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Total protein. This result showed that Cucumis metuliferus produced alterations in the haematological and biochemical indices evaluated. Keywords: Cucumis metuliferus, serum, enzymes, haematological.

  • Origin of Plant Originated from Some Had Possibly Changed Recognise Original Wild Species. Suggested a Relationship with Pr
    The possible origin of Cucumis anguria L. by A.D.J. Meeuse (National Herbarium, Pretoria) (Issued Oct. 2nd, 1958) Cucumis India Gherkin” “Bur anguria L., the “West or Gherkin”, is a cultigen known to have occurred in the West Indies in a cultivated or more or less adventitious state since before 1650 when the first accounts of this plant were published (1, 2). The occurrence of a single species of this old world genus — which is mainly African but extends through South West Asia to India — in America, combined with the fact that it is almost exclusively found in cultivation or as an escape, makes one feel suspicious about its being truly indigenous in the New World. Naudin (4) discussed the history of this plant and suggested that it introduced from West Africa whence slaves were was originally negro brought to the New World. However, he admittedly did not know any wild African species of Cucumis which resembles C. anguria sufficiently to deserve consideration as its probable ancestor. J. D. Hooker (5) also discussed the origin of the West Indian plant and was inclined to agree that it originated from some wild African ancestral form which had possibly changed so much through cultivation that it would be somewhat difficult to recognise the original wild species. He suggested a relationship with Cucumis prophetarum and “C. figarei” but he cautiously stated that these two species are perennial, whereas C. anguria is a typical annual. A. de Candolle (6) pointed out that although C. anguria was generally assumed to be a native of the Antilles, more particularly of Jamaica, two facts plead against this idea.

  • Iran Has the Second Largest Economy (After Saudi Arabia) and Population (After Egypt)
    COUNTRY FACT SHEET ON FOOD AND AGRICULTURE POLICY TRENDS | September 2014 Socio-economic context and role of agriculture In the Near East and North Africa region, Iran has the second largest economy (after Saudi Arabia) and population (after Egypt). Iran ranks second in the world in natural gas reserves and third in oil reserves.1 The agriculture and rural sector share in the GDP has declined in the last twenty years and yet is the source of income for more than 15 million people in rural areas.2 One quarter of the rural population is landless and of those who own land, one third are smallholders. Those within this segment of the population often fall below or just within the poverty line and face high underemployment rates. IRAN Some of the main development challenges at the national level are the harsh conditions of the physical environment and low productivity of small-holder farmers. Food security challenges include lack of self-sufficiency in major staple crops and inadequate access to food in terms of quantity of daily energy intake. The Iranian Government has adopted a comprehensive strategy envisioning market-based reforms as reflected in the 20-year Vision document and Iran’s fifth Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP 2011–15). The Government envisioned a large privatization programme in its 2010-2015 five-year plan, aiming to privatize 20 percent of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) each year. Moreover, Iran’s 2012 Doing Business ranking is in the bottom tiers of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, at 144th overall. Only Algeria, Iraq, and Djibouti rank lower among MENA countries.

  • Investigating the Performance and Quality of the Cucumis Metuliferus E
    Investigating the performance and quality of the Cucumis metuliferus E. Mey. Ex Naudin (African horned cucumber) under different growing environments for potential commercialisation by Mdungazi Knox Maluleke Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Agriculture at the University of South Africa College of Agriculture and Environemtal Sciences Department of Agriculture Supervisor: Prof. DM Modise (North West University) Co-supervisor: Prof. SJ Moja (Council for GeoSciences) Co-supervisor: Dr. MK Nyathi (Agricultural Research Council) ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the performance and quality of Cucumis metuliferus E. Mey. Ex Naudin (African horned cucumber) under protected and open environment with the aim of comparing yield and quality for the purpose of commercialisation of the crop. Therefore, the overall objective was to determine a suitable growing environment for C. metuliferus between greenhouse, shade net and open field, so that a comparative yield and quality analysis could be done for the purpose of commercialisation of the crop. Cucumis metuliferus seeds are difficult to germinate under the normal suitable environmental conditions in which most farmers operate. Germination was evaluated with respect to growth medium, scarification and seed certification. These factors ultimately control yield and fruit quality. The main aim of the study was to investigate the effect or impact of seed certification, growth medium (sand and vermiculite, peat TS1 and seedling mix) and scarification on germination success of C. metuliferus seeds. The seeds were classified under four different categories viz. treated certified, non-treated certified, treated uncertified, and non-treated uncertified. Of the 540 certified and uncertified seeds sown in the three-growth media, 80% germinated, significantly more that those that failed.

Read Full License Page 1/21 Abstract Background This is the rst study on seed germination of Cucumis prophetarum in the Arabian Peninsula. Light and temperature as the main environmental factors and seed storage conditions greatly affect the germination of many Cucurbitaceae species. C. prophetarum is the perennial prostrate with woody rootstocks that grow throughout the year in the arid Arabian deserts. We examined the effects of seed storage conditions and sterilization by sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) on germination of C. prophetarum seeds. Matured, fresh and eld stored seeds were collected in March of 2016 and 2017 from a population in the United Arab Emirates. Fresh and the stored seeds (eld, freeze, and room temperature) were germinated at three temperature regimes (15/25, 20/30 and 25/35°C) in both continuous darkness and alternating 12 h light/12 h darkness. Results The fresh and freeze stored seeds had higher germination percentage than the eld and room temperature stored seeds.

Accepted 16 July, 2015 The ”Indigenous Cucumis Technologies” (ICTs) were researched and developed for the management of plant- parasitic nematodes, particularly Meloidogyne species, in an attempt to alleviate the void created by the withdrawal of synthetic nematicides from the agro-chemical markets and the drawbacks associated with the use of conventional organic matter as a nematode management practice. Currently, ICTs comprises of four technology types, namely (1) ground leaching, (2) nematode resistance, (3) inter-generic grafting and (4) fermented crude extracts. ICTs, in their various forms, consistently suppressed the nematode numbers and improved crop yields in experimental trials carried out in Limpopo Province, Republic of South Africa. The present paper reviews a decade of successful research and development in ICTs for the management of root- knot nematodes in low-input agricultural farming systems. Key words: Cucumis species, fermented crude extract, ground leaching technology, inter-generic grafting, nematode resistance. INTRODUCTION Worldwide, the withdrawal of highly effective synthetic Been estimated at US $125 billion prior to the final fumigants used in the management of plant-parasitic withdrawal of methyl bromide from agro-chemical markets nematode populations has had economic consequences in in 2005 (Chitwood, 2003).

Received 24 May, 2018; Accepted 11 October, 2018 Medicinal plants play important roles in human and animals disease treatment. 1000 medicinal plant species are identified and reported in the Ethiopian Flora. They contribute and is more preferable for new drug development. Ethiopia has the potential to become an important source country, given the diversity of plants and the rich traditional knowledge regarding their use. The main sources of medicinal plants for utilizers are the wild forests. There is also cultivation practice of medicinal plants in home garden. About 80% of human and 90% of livestock population in Ethiopia depends on utilization of medicinal plants for primary health care. The knowledge transfer of medicinal plants in Ethiopia is largely oral. Most parts of medicinal plants commonly used are leaves and roots. Utilization of leaves for drug preparation is important for conservation of medicinal plants since harvesting leaves may not cause detrimental effect on the plants compared to the root or whole plant collections.
