The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen and potassium fertigation on the quality of ‘Novita Plus’ Italian zucchini fruit. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions at the Technical Center of Irrigation, Department of Agronomy of the State University of Maringá. The drip irrigation system was used such that each plant was irrigated by a dripper operating at a nominal flow of 4 L h-1 and a service pressure of 10 m.c.a., which was controlled by means of a pressure gauge of glycerin installed in the control head of the system.

Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are proteins extensively expressed, and they wind the cell membrane seven times (Salon, Lodowski and Palczewski, 2011 p. 902). GPCRs also respond to a wide range of stimuli which include lipids, peptides, and cations (Ghanemi, 2015 p. 115). GPCRs are seen as the target for non-oncology drugs.Therefore, precisely, GPCRs control the majority of pathways for signal changes, which are pertinent in cancer cells (Lappano and Maggiolini, 2011 p. 47).
