“…Since most cultivated genotypes are of tropical origin, growing in unheated greenhouse runs the risk of prolonged root chilling during winter and early spring. Efforts have been made to introduce low-temperature resistance into cucumber plants by means such as resistant cultivars, chemical application, and others (HorvaÂ th et al 1983;Bulder et al 1991). Another promising way to broaden the temperature optimum of cucumber cultivars is grafting.…”

Temperature effects on the reactive oxygen species formation and antioxidant defence in roots of two cucurbit species with contrasting root zone temperature optima

et al. 2011

Suboptimal root zone temperature (14°C) was imposed on chilling-sensitive cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and chilling-tolerant figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouché) plants. Exposure of roots to low temperature for up to 10 days caused a strong growth inhibition in cucumber compared with figleaf gourd. Physiological analysis showed that generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion was significantly induced in cucumber plants as fast as 1 day after low root zone temperature treatment. In addition to the significant induction of antioxidant superoxide dismutase activity, low root zone temperature also increased the mitochondrial electron transport allocated to alternative pathway while decreased cytochrome pathway salicylhydroxamic acidresistant respiration. However, these defense responses could not compensate for the ROS production, resulting in membrane lipid peroxidation and loss of root cell viability in the low root zone temperature treated cucumber roots.In contrast, 14°C root zone temperature had no significant effects on figleaf gourd plant growth, antioxidant enzymes, ROS levels and alternative respiratory pathway. Hence, difference in ROS metabolism would be associated with the remarkable difference in adaptability of cucumber and figleaf gourd plants in response to suboptimal root zone temperature condition.

The effects of chilling under low light (9/7 ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ C, 100 m m m m mol m ----2 s ----1 ) on the photosynthetic and antioxidant capacities and subsequent recovery were examined in two (one tolerant and one sensitive) cucumber genotypes. Chilling resulted in an irreversible inhibition of net CO 2 assimilation and growth for the sensitive genotype, which was accompanied by decreases in the maximum velocity of RuBP carboxylation by Rubisco ( V cmax ), the capacity for ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration ( J max ), Rubisco content and activity, and the quantum efficiency of photosystem II, in the absence of any stomatal limitation of CO 2 supply or inorganic phosphate limitation. In contrast, CO 2 assimilation for the tolerant genotype fully recovered after chill. The chill-induced decrease in the proportion of electron flux for photosynthetic carbon reduction was mostly compensated by an O 2 -dependent alternative electron flux driven by the water-water cycle, especially in the sensitive genotype. Compared with the tolerant genotype, the sensitive genotype after chill showed reduced capacity for scavenging reactive oxygen species and increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species. The balance between O 2 -dependent alternative electron flux and the capacity for scavenging reactive oxygen species in response to chill plays a major role in determining the tolerance of cucumber leaves to this stress factor. It is concluded that the water-water cycle operates at high rates when CO 2 assimilation is restricted in cucumber leaves subjected to chill and low light conditions.

“…Lipids act as signaling molecules, barriers to the outside environment of the cell, and excess energy is stored in the form of lipids in plants [ 80 ]. These are also suggested to accumulate in cold stress conditions and involve in plant growth [ 81 ]. With the exception of 13-HpOTrE(r), all the intermediates of the linolenic acid pathway increased substantially in grafted fruit.…”

Grafting has been reported as a factor regulating the metabolome of a plant. Therefore, a comprehensive metabolic profile and comparative analysis of metabolites were conducted from fully mature fruit of pumpkin-grafted watermelon (PGW) and a self-rooted watermelon (SRW). Widely targeted LC-ESI-MS/MS metabolomics approach facilitated the simultaneous identification and quantification of 339 metabolites across PGW and SRW. Regardless of grafting, delta-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride, sucrose, mannose-6-phosphate (carbohydrates), homocystine, 2-phenylglycine, s-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (amino acids and derivatives), malic, azelaic, H-butanoic acid ethyl ester-hexoside isomer 1, (organic acids), MAG (18:3) isomer1, LysoPC 16:0, LysoPC 18:2 2n isomer (lipids) p-coumaric acid, piperidine, and salicylic acid-o-glycoside (secondary metabolites) were among the dominant metabolite. Dulcitol, mono-, and disaccharide sugars were higher in PGW, while polysaccharides showed complex behavior. In PGW, most aromatic and nitrogen-rich amino acids accumulated greater than 1.5- and 1-fold, respectively. Intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), stress-related metabolites, vitamin B5, and several flavonoids were significantly more abundant in PGW. Most lipids were also significantly higher in grafted watermelon. This is the first report providing a comprehensive picture of watermelon metabolic profile and changes induced by grafting. Hence, the untargeted high-throughput LC-ESI-MS/MS metabolomics approach could be suitable to provide significant differences in metabolite contents between grafted and ungrafted plants.
