Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:50-51 (article 30) 1980 J. B. M. Custers and G. van Ee Institute for Horticultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, the Netherlands Using mentor pollen and amino-ethoxy-vinyl-glycine (AVG), we were able to obtain a number of fruits with embryos in crosses between Cucumis africanus and C. metuliferus(Nijs et al. 1980). The temperature during fruit development was […]
The Effects of Illumination, Explant Position, and Explant Polarity on Adventitious Bud Formation In Vitro of Seedling Explants of Cucumis sativus L. cv. ‘Hokus’
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 2:2-4 (article 1) 1979 J. B. M. Custers and L. C. Buijs Institute for Horticultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, The Netherlands In certain interspecific crosses in Cucumis, the embryos abort at the early embryonic stages.
