Seed Development and Seed Fill in Hull-less Seeded Cultigens of Cucurbita pepo L.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 21:59-61 (article 21) 1998 Kelly Vining and Brent Loy Department of Plant Biology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 Introduction. A breeding program to develop hull-less seeded cultivars of pumpkin has been ongoing at the University of New Hampshire since the early 1980s (3). The initial goal of the program […]
Seed Fill Occurs in Stored Fruit of Cucurbita pepo L. Harvested Prematurely
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 21:57-58 (article 20) 1998 Kelly Vining and Brent Loy Department of Plant Biology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 Introduction. Pumpkin plants (Cucurbita pepo L.) often senesce prematurely in the fall because of disease pressures or low temperatures. Seeds from fruit of such plans are not well-filled, and it is […]
