Abstract
Abstract Numerous abiotic stresses impact yield, quality and adaptation of cucurbit crops under the diverse cultivation systems across the globe. Irrigation systems, elevation, soil type, solar radiation, wind, pathogens, fertility and genotype all interact to determine the degree to which abiotic stress may impact the crop. This chapters describes some abiotic stresses affecting cucurbit cultivation, such as cold, heat, drought, flooding, nutrient deficiencies and excesses, and salinity. Tolerance or resistance to abiotic stress factors has been documented in the germplasm of multiple cucurbit crops. Utilizing wild accessions, landraces and known resistance sources, genes for abiotic stress resistance are being identified and introgressed into cultivars with desirable fruit quality. With the new gene editing technology, it may be possible to modify these endogenous stress resistance genes to enhance their effects in the near future.
期刊介绍:
“Chinese Cucurbits and Vegetables”(CCV), formerly known as “Chinese Watermelon and Melon,” is a national technical periodical dedicated to cucurbit and vegetable research.
CCV has received the first-place award for the technology class in the fourth and fifth sessions of the national agriculture periodical Jinli Jiang. It was also recognized as a first-class periodical during the first evaluation of the quality of scientific periodicals in Henan Province in 2008.
CCV is a core Chinese science and technology periodical, according to the Chinese Science and Technology Paper Source Statistics. As reported in the 2007 China Periodical Adduction Report (Expanded Version), CCV has an impact factor of 1.356 and a direct reference rate of 1.065. Samples of the journal are available for distribution to various databases.
