Age Dependence for Organogenesis of Seed Explants from Four Cucurbita Accessions

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 9:93-95 (article 29) 1986 Lange, Nathan E., and J.A. Juvik Department of Horticulture, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 A genotypic comparison in the in vitro organogenesis of explants from seeds was made on 4 accessions from the genus Cucurbita. Explants of seeds of different ages were tested to determine what […]

Embryo Culture of Cucurbita andreana and C. martinezii

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 7:69-70 (article 30) 1984 Malter, A. B., R. J. Lebowitz, and J. A. Juvik Department of Horticulture, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 Tissue culture may offer novel means of studying and improving Cucurbitaceae species. Cultures have already been used to analyze secondary metabolites (Yanagawa, et al., 1971), propagate gynoecious inbreds […]
