A Giemsa C-banding Procedure for Cucumis Chromosomes
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:13-14 (Article 6) 1985 Ramachandran, C. Agricultural University, Wageningen, 6708 PM, The Netherlands The gene lists of different Cucumis species have been already compiled (3). However, the genes have not been assigned to any of the chromosomes, which are not distinguishable by normal staining procedures. Modern staining techniques like Giemsa C-banding […]

Estimates of genetic variances and covariances of three fresh-market cucumber populations.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:26-28 (Article 10) 1985 Strefeler, Mark S. and Todd C. Wehner Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 An effective plant breeding program depends on the existence of genetic variability, and the estimation of genetic variance and gene effects are vital in formulating the most effective breeding […]
Effects of Location and Grade Size on the Length/Diameter Ratio of Pickling Cucumbers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:29-30 (Article 11) 1985 Tolla, G. E. Campbell Institute for Research and Technology, Napoleon, OH 43545 The length/diameter ratio (L/D) of pickling cucumber fruit is important to the cucumber processing industry. For small grade size fruit (less than 27 mm dia), which are packed whole by the processing industry, a L/D […]
A Standard System for Making Comments While Collecting Data in a Cucumber Evaluation Program
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:31-32 (Article 12) 1985 Wehner, Todd C. Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 In the North Carolina State University cucumber breeding program, numerous hybrids, lines and families are evaluated each year in field trials. Most of the data collected is numeric, involving measurement of yield, earliness, […]
