Part 1

As for this article, it is in the section of the plant protection and biotic interactions. The research was done by a group of individuals who were concerned with that role played by salicylic acid in the Watermelon-resistant fusarium wilt and this was done under different growth situations/conditions. The individuals included Feiying Zhu, Zhiwei Wang, Wenjun Su and Jianhua Tong as well as Yong Fang. The other researchers were Fan Yuan, Zhengliang Luo, Jing Xiang, Xi Chen and also Ruozhong Wang. The questions they were interested in or were asking include what role does this acid play when it came to Watermelon-Resistant Fusarium Wilt? The other question they were trying to ask was why were there some reduction in the quality and yields of watermelon and what role would this acid aid in improving the yields? The experimental system they used included carrying out a controlled experiment in observing the instance they wanted to study/research about

Part 2

The research is one that had essential findings/conclusions that the researchers came up with and this was important for the study that followed later. The findings were that different cultivation cropping systems are those that had been reported as being efficient and safe methods of controlling watermelon Fusarium Wilt. Regarding why this article is important for the general public, I think it is essential in that further realization/understanding of the patterns in gene expression is one that paves the way for those interventions that will aid in the effective control of diseases in plants.
