Example Sentences:
(1) The bacterium isolated from winter squash proved pathogenic for pumpkin, winter squash, cucumber and watermelon but no for muskmelon.
(2) The purified dense satellite of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) represents 30% of the total DNA and forms a sharp, unimodal peak in both neutral and alkaline CsCl gradients.
(3) Taken together, these results suggest that some mtRNA is untranslated in muskmelon.
(4) These strains were examined for their ability to replicate in muskmelon (Cucumis melo cv.
(5) Most of the crops by the roadside are sugarcane until we reach Finca Santa Rosa, where the pale brown earth is striped with dozens of 100m-long plastic sheets that cover the muskmelons.
(6) However, the penultimate N-terminal peptide from the large subunit of both the tobacco and muskmelon enzymes, while identical, differed from the corresponding peptide from spinach and wheat by containing a trimethyllysyl residue at position 14.
(7) Similar numbers of polypeptides are synthesized by isolated mitochondria from all species examined, but an extra set of mtDNA sequences is transcribed in the largest genome (muskmelon).
(8) In addition, for the enzyme from tobacco and muskmelon a third post-translational modification occurs at lysine-14 in the form of N epsilon-trimethylation.
(9) All of the fast strains were able to replicate at 37 degrees C in muskmelon, whereas all of the slow strains were unable to replicate to detectable levels at 37 degrees C, but replicated efficiently at 27 degrees C. Using previously constructed pseudorecombinants between a fast and a slow strain, Fny- and Sny-CMV, temperature sensitivity was mapped to RNA 1 of the Sny-CMV strain.
(10) Eggs of opisthorchiid flukes have very characteristic muskmelon-like surface structure of their shells and can be differentiated using this mark from eggs of heterophyid flukes.
