Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:92 (article 47) 1983 Richard L. Washek and Henry M. Munger Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 Several Cucurbita species, mostly non-cultivated, are sources of resistance to cucumber mosaic, watermelon mosaic-1, watermelon mosaic-2, squash mosaic and powdery mildew (3). Through embryo culture, C. pepo was hybridized successfully with C. martinezii (now considered […]
