Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:2-3 (Article 1) 1985 D.E. Delaney and R.L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 In 1982, we initiated a breeding program for increasing the number of lateral branches on determinate plant types. The objective was to alter the plant architecture of current determinate lines by incorporating the multiple lateral branching […]

Effects of the Determinate Locus on Number of Lateral Branches in Crosses between Four Cucumber Lines and Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii L.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 7:3-5 (article 1) 1984 D.E. Delaney and R.L. Lower University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 The shorter vine and concentrated fruit set of determinate pickling cucumbers are well suited to once-over mechanical harvesting (3). However, determinate and short internode dwarf types have fewer and shorter lateral branches than the normal indeterminate […]
Effect of Within Row Spacing on Mature Fruit Yield of Three Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii Derivatives and a Gynoecious Inbred of Cucumis sativus
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:3-4 (article 1) 1983 D. E. Delaney, R. L. Lower and M. D. Edwards University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii has great potential as a source of germplasm for improving yield of pickling cucumbers. It is unique in that it sets large numbers of seeded fruit, and seems to lack […]
