“…Bacterial wilt of Cucurbitaceae plants was first recorded in the 1990s in Bangladesh and the Cucurbitaceae hosts have spanned more than 13 species and eight genera (Miah et al, 1992;Mondal et al, 2011;Wicker et al, 2002Wicker et al, , 2007. Up to now, at least five Cucurbitaceae species have been reported as RSSC hosts in China, including luohanguo (Siraitia grosvenorii), bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), towel gourd (Luffa cylindrica), bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), and pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima), the first three of which have only appeared in Guangxi (Gao et al, 2007;Li et al, 2005;She et al, 2017b;Yuan et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2018). The Cucurbitaceae family has a long history of cultivation and a wide range of distribution in China, playing an important role in agricultural production.…”

Bacterial wilt, caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC), is one of the most destructive bacterial plant diseases. It is distributed worldwide but is more intense in tropical and subtropical regions (Mansfield et al., 2012). The RSSC infects the roots of plants through the soil and water and multiplies through the xylem, where it clogs the vascular tissues and ultimately collapses the host (Mansfield et al., 2012). This group of bacterial pathogens has an extensive host range and can infect over 450 plant species representing 54 botanical families (Hayward, 1991;Wicker et al., 2007). Members of the RSSC are highly diverse pathogens with multiple taxonomic

Sweeteners from plants—with emphasis on Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) and Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle)

2013

In addition to their widely recognized use as dietary supplement ingredients, plant-derived compounds are increasingly used as natural sweeteners. The search for nonnutritive sweeteners has been stimulated over the last 20-30 years by concern over demonstrated or suspected relationships between consumption of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrups and a variety of health-related conditions. In the USA, there is increased use of plant extracts known to contain highly sweet terpenoids. Purified extracts of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) containing the diterpene glycosides stevioside and rebaudioside A are popular as sweeteners and are also used as dietary supplements, and soft drinks and nutritional and energy shakes incorporating extracts of Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) fruits containing sweet triterpene glycosides such as mogroside V are also on the market. Here, we review recent studies on these two important sources of noncaloric natural sweeteners, including analytical methods used to identify and quantify specific constituents and structural features relating to their sweetness. We also review the generally recognized as safe status of specific components and their status with respect to review by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives.

Siraitia grosvenorii, an herbaceous perennial plant, native to the southern parts of China, is commonly used as a low-calorie natural sweetener. It contains cucurbitane-type triterpene glycosides known as mogrosides. The extract from monk fruit is about 300 times sweeter than sucrose. In spite of its immense importance and International demand, Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) is not commercially cultivated outside China since scientific information for cultivation of this species is lacking. Planting material of monk fruit plant was not available in India. Thus, the seeds of monk fruit were introduced in India from China after following International norms. Then the experiments were conducted on different aspects such as seed germination, morphological and anatomical characterization, phenology, flowering and pollination behaviors, and dynamic of mogroside-V accumulation in fruit. The hydropriming at 40 °C for 24 h was found effective to reduce the germination time and to increase the germination rate (77.33%). The multicellular uniseriate trichomes were observed in both the leaf surfaces, however, higher trichomes density was observed in the ventral surface of males compared to females. The microscopic view revealed that the ovary was trilocular (ovary consists three chambers) having two ovules in each chamber or locule. Most of the fruits were globose or oblong type with 5–7 cm in length and 4–7 cm diameter. Mogroside-V content in fruit at 80 days after pollination was 0.69% on dry weight basis. The rate of increase of mogroside-V accumulation from 50 to 70 days was very slow, whereas a sharp increase was observed from 70 to 80 days. The higher receptivity of stigma was observed with fully open flowers. The floral diagram and formula have also been developed for both male and female flowers. Our results highlighted that monk fruit can be grown in Indian conditions.
