Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Fruit volatile components differed between ungrafted and grafted watermelon plants.
- Observation Fruit volatiles of watermelon included the aldehydes (E)-2-nonenal and (E, Z)-2,6-nonadien-1-al.
- Intervention effect (E)-2-nonenal was present at higher concentrations in grafted than in ungrafted watermelon plants.
- Intervention effect Grafted watermelon plants had higher growth rate, total yield and fruit number than ungrafted plants.
- Association The percent dry matter of watermelon leaves and shoots was higher in ungrafted plants.
- Intervention effect Grafting did not change mean fruit weight, fruit shape or rind thickness of watermelon.
- Intervention effect Fruit from grafted watermelon plants had more compact flesh than fruit from ungrafted plants.
- Intervention effect Fruit from grafted watermelon plants had less acid fruit juice than fruit from ungrafted plants.
- Intervention effect Sugar content did not differ between grafted and ungrafted watermelon plants, except in Obla F-1 hybrids.
- Association Carotenoid, lycopene and vitamin C content in fruit of ungrafted Obla F-1 plants was higher, but only in the second year.
