Honey Bees Waste Time on Triploid Male Flowers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 20:45 (article 19) 1997 Bill Rhodes, Katherine B. Gruene and W. Michael Hood Horticulture Department, Clemson University, Clemson SC 29634 Adlerz (1) reported that 8 honey bee visits are necessary to effect fruit set on diploid watermelon. Although a large number of male flowers exist on diploid pollenizer rows in a […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:79 (article 29) 1993 Xingping Zhang and Bill Rhodes Department of Horticulture, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-0375 The genetic male-sterile ms, from China (1) has been reported to be unlinked to gms (1) and Sp (2). Data are reported here on its relationship to the two genes that determine delayed green […]
Inheritance of Resistance to Races 0, 1, and 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in Watermelon (Citrullus sp. PI 296341)
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:77-78 (article 28) 1993 Xingping Zhang and Bill Rhodes Horticulture Department, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-0375 Martyn and Netzer (1) reported Citrullus sp.
