e0“Diploid and triploid watermelon cultivars and their pumpkin rootstock-grafted seedlings were treated with AMF, DI and DI + AMF”
e3“Although the AMF improved the RWC, PN and alkaline α-galactosidase, IAI, SuSy and SPS activities in all the watermelon lines under both the DI and WW conditions, the improvement magnitude of these parameters was more pronounced in the pumpkin-root watermelon lines than the corresponding own-root watermelon lines, especially under the DI condition”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation significantly reduced relative water content, PN and alkaline α-galactosidase activity in watermelon compared with well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation increased insoluble acid invertase, sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase activities in watermelon compared with well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect AMF improved insoluble acid invertase, sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase activities in all watermelon lines under both DI and well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect The AMF improvement of these physiological parameters was more pronounced in pumpkin-rootstock watermelon lines than in own-root lines, especially under DI.
- Intervention effect Integrated AMF and DI increased fruit yield in pumpkin-root watermelon lines to a level similar to the well-watered value.
- Intervention effect Integrated AMF and DI increased sugar content to an optimal level in all watermelon lines.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation led to a lower fruit yield than well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation led to a higher fruit sugar content than well-watered plants.
