Cohen Department of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Can 52100, Israel Rosa (6) in his earliest experiments on the inheritance of flower type in muskmelon, showed that monoecism is dominant to andromonecism by a single pair of alleles. Poole and Grienball (5) proposed a […]

Multiple-Flowering Character in Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:45-46 (article 26) 1987 I. A. Khan, L. F. Lippert, and G. E. Jones Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 The expression of multiple flower per node has potential for concentration of fruit set with ultimate value in once-over harvest and thus reduced harvest costs.

Further linkage studies in Cucumis sativus L.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:39-40 (article 23) 1987 S. Zijlstra Institute for Horticultural Plant Breeding (IVT), P.O. Box 16, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands In 1986 linkage studies for seven combinations of two different marker genes have been continued at the IVT. Involved were the recessive marker genes bi (bitterfree), cp (compact), ccu (susceptibility to […]
Pollen Mother Cell Meiosis in the Haploid of Cucumis ficifolius A. Rich
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:37-38 (article 22) 1987 L. Zagorcheva, M. Alexandrova and C. Kichukova Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv, Bulgaria Haploid forms in the genus Cucumis ficifolius have not been reported previously in the literature. Tetraploid (2n=48) (1,2) and hexaploid (2n=72) forms (1) have been established. With C. ficifolius (2n=24) autonomous apomictic propagation […]
Autonomous Apomictic Propagation of Cucumis ficifolius A. Rich and C. anguria L.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:35-36 (article 21) 1987 L. Zagorcheva Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv, Bulgaria The incompatibility barrier of C. ficifolius with C. sativus was studied in 1985 under greenhouse conditions. Treatments included sib- and self- pollination and unpollinated female flowers to check apomictic seed production (Table 1.). The reason for this check […]
