Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:63-65 (article 24) 1991 Carl D. Clayberg Department of Horticulture, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 665006 Recent research in Cucurbita has indicated that pollen competition can improve seed quality (1). In the course of a breeding program to develop bush melons using the si-1 (short internode) gene (5), I encountered difficulties […]

Reproductive Patterns of Three Melon Cultivars in Response to Temperature Accumulation
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:61-62 (article 23) 1991 James R. Dunlap, Stephen J. Maas Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Weslaco, Texas; USDA-ARS, Subtropical Agricultural Research Laboratory, Weslaco, Texas Patterns of reproductive development in plants are partially controlled by the temperature experienced during growth. The correlation is sufficient that heat-unit accumulation has been used to model the […]

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Variants Resistant to Metribuzin or Linuron are not Viable
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:34-42 (article 13) 1991 S. Malepszy, K. Witkowski and S. Zgagacz Warsaw Agricultural University, Dept. Genetics & Hort. Plant Breeding, Nowoursynowska 166, 02-766 Warszawa, Poland In vitro culture techniques can be employed to improve cucumber (5), including selection of mutants for herbicide resistance. That would be desirable due to high cucumber […]
