Abstract

Due to climate change, it is necessary to develop plant varieties that are resilient to climate conditions and resistant to abiotic and biotic stresses. The use of microalgae, which are microorganisms that contain carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and vitamins, against drought tolerance is a new approach. The aim of the current study was to determine the drought-related mechanisms in the conomon melon genotype and develop drought-tolerant melon cultivars. Morphological, physiological, pomological, and molecular analyses were carried out on the algae-treated genotypes. It has been determined that commercial algae application provides the best results in leaf temperature, leaf relative water contents (LRWC), plant height, fruit length, fruit diameter, and yield, while Cag Cag (a special river in the region) stream algae application gives better results in main stem diameter. It was determined that the number of nodes in the control (without algae) plots was higher than in the other two treatments. Yield and LRWC and plant height values of genotype 7 were the best values among other genotypes. The leaf temperature measurement was lower on genotype 9 than on the other genotypes. While the highest fruit length value was measured in genotype 1, genotype 8 was superior in the main stem diameter, fruit diameter, and the number of nodes among the remaining plant materials. In terms of yield, it was determined that the interaction between genotype 2 and the commercial algae resulted in the best outcomes. In addition, the results of the genetic evaluation revealed that the materials used were not genetically distant from each other and more detailed genetic evaluations are needed. The molecular kinship analysis revealed that the genotypes used in the study were divided into three distinct groups, with individuals within each group exhibiting a high degree of relatedness to one another. As a result of the study, it was found that the application of microalgae had significant effects on improving the drought tolerance of Cucumis melo subsp. agrestis var. conomon genotypes.

藻类对甜瓜亚种的影响。干旱胁迫条件下刺槐的生长发育

由于气候变化，有必要开发适应气候条件和抵抗非生物和生物胁迫的植物品种。微藻是一种含有碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂质和维生素的微生物，利用微藻来抗旱是一种新的方法。本研究的目的是确定甜瓜基因型的干旱相关机制，培育耐旱甜瓜品种。对处理过的海藻基因型进行了形态学、生理学、形态学和分子分析。经测定，商业藻类在叶片温度、叶片相对含水量(LRWC)、株高、果长、果径和产量方面效果最好，而Cag Cag(该地区特殊河流)水系藻类在主茎径方面效果较好。结果表明，对照(无藻)样地的节点数高于其他两个处理。在所有基因型中，7型的产量、LRWC和株高值最高。基因9型的叶温测量值低于其他基因型。基因型1的果实长度值最高，而基因型8的主茎粗、果实直径和节数在其余植株材料中均优于基因型1。就产量而言，确定基因2型与商业藻类的互作效果最好。此外，遗传评价结果显示，所使用的材料在遗传上并不遥远，需要进行更详细的遗传评价。分子亲缘关系分析显示，研究中使用的基因型被分为三个不同的组，每组中的个体相互之间表现出高度的亲缘关系。研究发现，施用微藻对提高甜瓜亚种的耐旱性有显著效果。青豆变种，共染色体基因型。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
