A Preliminary Report on Screening Watermelons for Sensitivity to Ozone and Sulfur Dioxide
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:57-61 (Article 22) 1985 Eason, Gwen and R. A. Reinert North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Ozone (O3) is the most common cause of air pollutant-induced crop injury (3). Sulfur dioxide (SO2) can enhance or reduce the effects of O3 on crop plants, and at higher concentrations over time, injure […]
Silver Nitrate Induction of Perfect Flowers in onoecious Plants of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:57 (Article 21) 1985 Risser, Georgette and J. C. Rode Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, 84140 Montfavet, France In 1979, we reported that staminate flowers have been induced on gynoecious lines of muskmelon by treatment with silver nitrate (Risser & Rode, 1979). So, as in cucumber, use of silver nitrate […]

Myrothecium roridum Tode ex Fries, a common soil fungus that produces mycotoxins, has been reported to be pathogenic to several plant species. McLean and Sleeth (4) reported that symptoms of […]
Cold Germinability of Cucumis melo
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:41-43 (Article 16) 1985 Hutton, Mark G. and J. Brent Loy University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 U.S.A. Low soil temperatures in the early portion of the growing season, can severely limit muskmelon seed germination and early seedling development. In fact, low soil temperatures can often kill young seedlings. Our […]
