Tolerance of Melon to Watermelon Mosaic Virus II
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:20 (article 20) 1978 M. Pitrat Station d’Amelioration des Plantes Maraicheres, I.N.R.A., Domaine Saint Maurice, 84140 Montfavet-Avignon (France) Cucumber mosaic (CMV) is a very common and severe virus on melon in the Southeast of France. While observing different lines in the field to study their resistance, it appears that PI 161375 […]
Cantaloupe: Breeding for resistance to Mycosphaerella citrullina, Meloidogyne incognita acrita and Diaphania nitidalis
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:19 (article 19) 1978 J. D. Norton Auburn University Agricultural Experiment Station, Auburn, AL 36830 Multiple disease resistance, including resistance to M. citrullina has proven to be adequate for high yields of excellent quality fruit for ad-advanced breeding lines and released varieties. The Hollar and Company, Inc., Rocky Ford, Colorado, has exclusive right […]
Regulation of Sex Expression in Gynomonoecious Muskmelon for Hybrid Seed Production
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:18 (article 18) 1978 J. B. Loy University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 Several approaches for obtaining hybrid seed in muskmelon without hand pollination have been suggested, but all the methods to date have serious limitations. It has been difficult to obtain stable, true-breeding lines of gynoecious muskmelon, and until […]
Improving Self Pollinations in Muskmelon
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:17 (article 17) 1978 J. B. Loy and T. Natti University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 We have been investigating the problem of low fruit set in hand pollinated muskmelon. Our approach has been the postulation that injury of flowers resulting from emasculation could induce wound ethylene. Excess ethylene production […]
Dwarf Cantaloupe Breeding
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:17 (article 16) 1978 L. H. Halsey University of Florida, Gainesville, Fl 32601 Numerous short-internode lines of Cucumis melo have been developed. The plants posses partial resistance to powdery mildew, Erysiphe cichoracearum and high level of resistance to Alternaria blight, Alternaria cucumerina. The dwarf character was derived from an acquisition obtained from J. L. Bowers, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, […]
