Ricard INRA, Station d’ Amelioration des Plantes Maraicheres, B.P. 94, 84143 Montfavet cedex (France) A mutant of Cucumis melo L. has been described with white cotyledons which later turn green and light green young leaves which turn normal green when […]
A Combining Ability Study in Muskmelon Using Line x Tester Analysis
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:34-36 (article 15) 1995 M.S. Dhaliwal Dept. of Vegetable Crops, L.S. & F., Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana-141 004 INDIA Muskmelon, (Cucumis melo L.), is predominantly a cross-pollinated crop, and its ability to produce plenty of seeds per fruit facilitates heterosis breeding. Pollination mechanisms (viz. monoecy, gynoecy and male sterility have been […]

Paternal Inheritance of Mitochondrial DNA in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:31-33 (article 14) 1995 S. Matsuura Tohoku Seed Company, 1625 Himuro, Nishihara, Utsunomiya 321-32, Japan Linkage analysis has been performed in cucumber using RFLP markers and the acr locus (5). At that time, almost all of the RFLP clones segregated in Mendelian ratios, except for two genomic clones (B-174 and P-146) […]

Heredity Analysis of Photosynthetic Rate and Chilling Tolerance of Cucumber Seedlings Under Low Temperature
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:23-25 (article 11) 1995 Janguo Li, Hongwen Cui and Meng Zhang Horticulture Department, Northwestern Agricultural University, Yangling, Shaanxi, 712100, P.R. China Increased attention is now being given to cold resistance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Cold resistance in cucumber includes two aspects: low temperature tolerance (10-15C) and chilling tolerance (0-5C). Although […]
Chilling Sensitivity in Cucumber Seedlings: Ethylene Production
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:21-22 (article 10) 1995 Jianhui Liu and Hongwen Cui Department of Horticulture, Northwestern Agricultural University, Yangling, Shaanxi 712100, P.R. China Chilling injury can occur during cucumber production (2). The most feasible method of increasing the chilling resistance of crop plants is by genetic manipulation. Breeding for chilling resistance requires a method […]
