Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:85-89 (article 31) 1991 B. B. Rhodes Department of Horticulture, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-0375 The glabrous character can be fixed in lines heterozygous for gms (2, 3). Although Whitaker and Bemis (4) noted the possibility of using late male fertility for maintaining the gms line, no further study of this […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 12:9-10 (article 2) 1989 D.C. Linde, J.M. Shively and B.B. Rhodes Clemson University Edisto Research and Education Center, Blackville, SC 29817 (first and third authors); and Department of Biological Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29632 (second author) Anthracnose (causal agent = Colletotrichum lagenarium) is one of the most important diseases of […]
A Second Look at the Glabrous Male-Sterile (gms) Character in Watermelon
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 12:58 (article 25) 1989 B.B. Rhodes, B.A. Murdock and J.W. Adelberg Clemson University Edisto Research and Education Center, Blackville, SC Watts (5) recovered the gms character from irradiated seed in 1957 and reported on the variant in 1962. Although the variant behaved as a single recessive gene, there were two notable […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 11:64-67 (article 27) 1988 Love, S.L. U. Idaho Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, Aberdeen, ID 83210 Rhodes, B.B. Clemson U. Edisto Research and Education Center, Blackville, SC 29817 This research was supported by a grant from the USDA CRGO. Previous reports (1, 3, 6, 7) indicate that resistance to Colletotrichum lagenarium […]

Segregation of glabrous male-sterile in an Autotetraploid Line of Citrullus lanatus
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 9:84-86 (article 26) 1986 Rhodes, B.B. and L.G. Blue Clemson University, Edisto Research and Education Center, Blacksville, SC 29817 Love, et. al (4) reported the transfer of a nuclear male-sterile (ms) gene, glabrous male sterile (gms), from a diploid to a tetraploid watermelon line. We noted that this male-sterile tetraploid line […]
