“…Several commercial resistant tomato and pepper rootstocks have been shown their effectiveness against RKN (Oka et al 2004 ;Ros et al 2006 ;Cortada et al 2008 ;Verdejo-Lucas and Sorribas 2008 ;Kokalis-Burelle et al 2009 ;Verdejo-Lucas et al 2009 ). However, despite the fact that the effectiveness of cucurbit rootstocks against RKN has been studied (Thies et al 2010 ;Liu et al 2015 ;Thies et al 2015 ;López-Gómez et al 2016 ), there are not available resistant commercial rootstocks for cucumber and melon. Nevertheless, some promising results have been reported, such as with Cucumis metuliferus, which has been proven to be highly resistant to root-knot nematodes Kokalis-Burelle and Rosskopf 2011 ;Thies et al 2012 ;Picó et al 2013 ;Munera et al 2014 ) and is compatible with some melon cultivars (Sigüenza et al 2005 ;Gisbert et al 2014 ;Guan et al 2014 ).…”

“…The main purpose of this technique is to control plant pathogens causing soil-borne diseases, including plant parasitic nematodes, to enhance tolerance to abiotic stresses, and to improve yield (Edelstien 2004 ;Davis et al 2008 ;King et al 2010 ;. Several cucurbit rootstocks have been tested against RKN (Sigüenza et al 2005 ;Davis et al 2008 ;KokalisBurelle and Rosskopf 2011 ;Liu et al 2015 ;Thies et al 2015 ;López-Gómez et al 2016 ). Among them, the squash interspecific hybrid (Cucurbita maxima x C. moschata) is the most widely used rootstock for cucumber, melon and watermelon in Europe ).…”

Population dynamics of Meloidogyne incognita on cucumber grafted onto the Cucurbita hybrid RS841 or ungrafted and yield losses under protected cultivation

The influence of the squash hybrid RS841 rootstock (Cucurbita maxima x C. moschata) on population dynamics of Meloidogyne incognita and yield of cucumber cv. Dasher II was assessed during 2013 and 2014 in a plastic greenhouse. In addition, the relationship between ecophysiological parameters (plant water status, gas exchange, and leaf reflectance) and Pi and cucumber yield were also estimated in 2013. Nematode densities were determined at the beginning (Pi) and at the end (Pf) of each crop, and the relationship between these parameters was used to estimate the maximum multiplication rate (a), the maximum population density (M) and the equilibrium density (E) per grafted and ungrafted cucumber and cropping season. Moreover, the relationship between the multiplication rate (Pf/Pi) and Pi was compared between grafted and ungrafted cucumber per cropping season. Finally, the relative yield of grafted or ungrafted cucumber was plotted against Pi to determine the tolerance limit (T) and the minimum relative yield (m) by the Seinhorst damage function model. Values of a, M and E in grafted cucumber were higher than in ungrafted one irrespective of the cropping season. These results were supported by comparing the relationship between Pf/Pi and Pi between grafted and ungrafted cucumber. The relationship between Pi and yield fitted the Seinhorst damage function. The values of T and m did not differ between grafted and ungrafted each year. Predawn water potential, net photosynthetic rate, and leaf chlorophyll index decreased with increasing Pi. In addition, relative yield was related to variation in net photosynthetic rate and the leaf chlorophyll index. Under the conditions of this study, RS841 rootstock was neither resistant nor tolerant to M. incognita.

“…However, none of the genotypes assessed showed resistance to both species of root-knot nematodes, corroborating the results obtained here. Liu et al (2015) reported a new rootstock from the Cucumis putulatus species resistant to M. incognita and Fusarium wilt, which causes disease in the main cucurbits, including the muskmelon. Anwar & McKenry (2010) studied the incidence and reproduction of M. incognita in genotypes of several plant species (Momordica charantia, Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita argyrosperma, Luffa cylindrica, Citrullus lanatus).…”

Melon is one of the most economically important crops cultivated in Brazil, especially in the Northeast region. However, as its cultivation increases, phytosanitary problems arise, including those caused by nematodes, which are most effectively controlled using resistant cultivars. This study aimed at assessing the reaction of muskmelon genotypes, in terms of resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica infestation. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions using a completely randomized design, in a 2 x 15 factorial scheme, with six replications. A total of 15 muskmelon genotypes were evaluated and the 'Santa Cruz Kada' tomato was used as a susceptible control. The total number of eggs and juvenile nematodes in the roots and the reproduction factor were used to assess the genotype reaction. None of the genotypes was resistant to M. incognita. Eight genotypes were classified as resistant to M. javanica and promising for use in melon breeding programs.

“…(Thies et al ., ; López‐Gómez et al ., ; Giné et al ., ). However, resistance to RKN has been found in wild Cucumis spp., including accessions of C. africanus , C. anguria , C. ficifolius , C. metuliferus , C. myriocarpus , C. postulatus , C. subsericeus and C. zeyheri (Fassuliotis, ; Sigüenza et al ., ; Kokalis‐Burelle & Rosskopf, ; Pofu & Mashela, ; Guan et al ., ; Liu et al ., ). Moreover, some of these Cucumis species are resistant to pathogenic fungi, such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.…”

Cucumis metuliferus is resistant to root‐knot nematode Mi1.2 gene (a)virulent isolates and a promising melon rootstock

Pot experiments were carried out to characterize the response of two Cucumis metuliferus accessions (BGV11135 and BGV10762) against Mi1.2 gene (a)virulent Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica isolates and to determine the compatibility and the effect on physicochemical properties of fruit melons. In addition, histopathological studies were conducted. One week after transplanting, plants were inoculated with one J2 cm−3 of sterilized sand (200 cm3 pots) and maintained in a growth chamber at 25 °C for 40 days. The susceptible cucumber cv. Dasher II or melon cv. Paloma were included for comparison. The number of egg masses and number of eggs per plant were assessed, and the reproduction index (RI) was calculated as the percentage of eggs produced on the C. metuliferus accessions compared to those produced on the susceptible cultivars. The compatibility and fruit quality were assessed by grafting three scions, two of Charentais type and one of type piel de sapo, under commercial greenhouse conditions. The resistance level of both C. metuliferus accessions ranged from highly resistant (RI < 1%) to resistant (1% ≤ RI ≤ 10%) irrespective of Meloidogyne isolates. Melon plants grafted onto C. metuliferus accession BGV11135 grew as self‐grafted plants without negatively impacting fruit quality traits. Giant cells induced by Meloidogyne spp. on C. metuliferus were in general poorly developed compared to those on cucumber. Furthermore, necrotic areas surrounding the nematode were observed. Cucumis metuliferus accession BGV11135 could be a promising melon rootstock to manage Meloidogyne spp., irrespective of their Mi1.2 (a)virulence, without melon fruit quality reduction.
