Heterosis Estimates for Several Characteristics in a Cross Between a Gynoecious Inbred of Cucumis Sativus L. and C. hardwickii R.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:20-21 (article 11) 1980 James Nienhuis and R. L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706; R. R. Horton, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Characteristics such as multiple laterals and prolific fruiting make Cucumis hardwickii a potentially useful source of germplasm in a breeding program to improve yield of pickling cucumbers […]
Influence of Reciprocal Donor Scions on Fruit Setting Characteristics of Recipient Scions of Cucumis sativus and C. hardwickii R.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:17-19 (article 10) 1980 James Nienhuis and R. L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Cucumis sativus cultivars average approximately 1 1/4 marketable fruit per plant in once-over mechanically harvested operations (5). Low fruit number per plant is presumably due to the inhibitory effect of the seed development of the first […]

Pollen Receptivity of Different Areas of the Stigma in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:25 (article 14) 1980 R.W. Robinson and D.F. Heffernan New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 Pollen was placed with a dissecting needle on different areas of ‘Wisconsin SMR 18’ stigmas to determine the area of greatest receptivity. Five different areas of the stigma were pollinated including (1) the […]
Effectiveness of AVG for Inducing Staminate Flowers on Gynoecious Cucumbers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:22-23 (article 12) 1980 A.P.M. den Nijs Institute for Horticultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, The Netherlands The amino-ethoxy of rhizobitoxine, amino-ethoxy-vinyl-glycine (AVG), inhibited ethylene production in muskmelon seedlings and improved fruit set following hand-pollination of emasculated muskmelon flowers (1). Staminate flowering in gynoecious cucumbers can be induced by gibberellins, silver nitrate (AgNO3) […]
