This study aimed to optimize pectin extraction from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) rind using sequential ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction (UMAE) with artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of pH, sonication time, microwave power, and irradiation time on pectin yield were evaluated. The ANN model showed higher precision in predicting yield compared to the RSM model.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) is an important horticultural crop in Italy, with a production of around 600,000 tons per year (third producer in the Europe). Viruses are considered a limiting factor in watermelon production, especially those transmitted by efficient vectors such as whiteflies and aphids.

Grafting is a traditional horticultural practice that enhances plant resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the influence of specific tissues, such as rootstock cotyledons, on graft union formation is not well understood. This study investigates the impact of rootstock cotyledon removal on graft healing in watermelon and its underlying mechanisms.

School of Food and Biological Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China. Electronic address:
Molecular docking and dynamics simulation techniques were used to analyze the binding capacity and stability of watermelon seed oligopeptides with heat shock protein 72 (HSP72), as well as the signaling pathway and mechanisms through cellular experiments. Computational simulation results indicated these peptides could form stable complexes with HSP72 through hydrogen bonds and other interactions, with the lowest free energy binding to RDPEER (-60.83 kcal/mol).
