Robinson Seed and Vegetable Sciences Department, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 It would be convenient in squash breeding to store pollen for extended periods, particularly with late maturing or photoperiodic germplasm that does not flower sufficiently early to […]
Hybridization of Cucurbita pepo with Disease Resistant Cucurbita Species
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:92 (article 47) 1983 Richard L. Washek and Henry M. Munger Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 Several Cucurbita species, mostly non-cultivated, are sources of resistance to cucumber mosaic, watermelon mosaic-1, watermelon mosaic-2, squash mosaic and powdery mildew (3). Through embryo culture, C. pepo was hybridized successfully with C. martinezii (now considered […]
