“…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 ).…”

In order to know the host status of the rootstock under particular agro-environmental conditions, the relationship between nematode density at planting (Pi) and at the end of the crop (Pf) has to be determined to estimate the maximum multiplication rate (in absence of limiting factors) (a), the maximum population density (the maximum Pf achieved by a nematode population on a plant host under particular conditions) (M), and the equilibrium density (when the plant can supply enough food to maintain the population density at planting; Pf = Pi; Pf/Pi = 1) (E) (Seinhorst 1967 ).…”

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.

“…Yetişir et al (2003) suggested that the total soluble solids and sugar content were greatly affected by grafting, albeit the results were dependent on the rootstock used. In addition, Davis et al (2008b) indicated in their review that watermelon maturity is often delayed in grafted fruit and that this difference in maturation probably causes additional contradictory reports in the literature. In our study, although significant differences in the total soluble solid content and total sugars were noted with the growing seasons and individual rootstock-scion combinations, the resulting trend was inconsistent.…”

The Cucurbitaceae or vine crop family is a distinct family without any close relatives and includes many important vegetables such as cucumber, melon, watermelon, squash, pumpkin and gourds. Plants within Cucurbitaceae consist of 95 genera classified into 15 tribes. Cucurbits are trailing or vining tendril‐bearing annual plants. The plants are mostly monoecious with separate male and female flowers and require various insect, especially bees for pollination. The fruit come in various shapes and sizes, of which the pumpkin plants produce some of the largest known fruits among flowering plants and are often used in contests. Gourd fruits are used for preparing food, making musical instruments, containers and other decorative pieces. Watermelon is considered the most popular among the cucurbits whose delicious fruit are widely consumed throughout the world. Key Concepts Cucumber, watermelon, melon, pumpkin, squash and gourds belong to the family Cucurbitaceae. Cucurbits are mainly trailing or vining tendril‐bearing annual plants. Cucurbit plants are mostly monoecious, that is, they have separate male and female flowers. Pumpkin plants produce some of the largest know fruits among flowering plants. Watermelon is the most popular cucurbit and its delicious fruits are consumed worldwide. The red pigment responsible for watermelon flesh colour is an anticancer agent. Watermelon fruit have more lycopene than tomato. Bottle gourds are considered to be some of the earliest domesticated plant species.
