Variability for Seed Quality Among Fruit from Individual Compact Cucumber Plants
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:4-5 (article 2) 1981 M.D. Edwards and R. L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Considerable variability has been observed for emergence percentage and other seed characteristics within a heterogeneous population of compact cucumber genotypes, as reported in a previous study (CGC #4, pp. 2-4). The present study was designed […]
Investigations into the Characteristics of Seeds From Compact Cucumber Plants
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:2-4 (article 1) 1981 M.D. Edwards and R. L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Seeds from compact (cp cp) cucumber plants often germinate poorly when compared to those from normal vining-type (Cp Cp) plants, particularly in adverse environments.”Compact” seeds also appear somewhat unlike “vining” cucumber seeds. The average seed […]

Multiple Disease Resistant Casaba
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:24 (article 12) 1981 Joseph D. Norton Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849 Multiple disease resistant casaba breeding lines were developed from crosses of casaba cultivars and multiple disease resistant cantaloupe breeding lines. Fruit quality was excellent with total soluble solids of 15.3%. After storage at 21°C for 90 to 120 days, […]
Leaf Miner Resistant Muskmelon Breeding Lines
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:12-13 (article 11) 1981 Joseph D. Norton Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849 A severe infestation of leaf miners at the Horticulture Farm, E.V. Smith Research Center led to the discovery of high levels of resistance to leaf miners in certain muskmelon breeding lines during the 1978 growing season. The severe infestation […]
Tissue Culture Propagation of Field-Grown Cucumber Selections
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:20-22 (article 10) 1981 T. C. Wehner and R. D. Locy North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 One potential application of tissue culture techniques to cucumber breeding is in the propagation of selections made in the field. This would replace vegetative propagation by rooted cuttings (4). Callus has been induced […]
