Phenylurea Cytokinin (CPPU) More Effective than 6-Penzyladenine in Promoting Fruit Set and Inducing Parthenocarpy in Melon
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 19:47-48? (article 17) 1996 J. Brent Loy and Peter C. Allen Department of Plant Biology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 The cytokinin N6 -benzyladenine (BA) promotes fruit set in hand-pollinated melons (3). Because fruit set in hand-pollinated melons is often low, many breeders have adopted the use of BA […]

Fused Vein Trait in Cucurbita pepo L.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:111-112 (article 39) 1991 R. Bruce Carle and J. Brent Loy Department of Plant Biology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 Few morphological markers are known for Cucurbita pepo that can be used to detect outcrossing during commercial seed production.(1). A new mutant leaf form, fused vein, shows potential as […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 11:72-73 (article 31) 1988 J. Brent Loy Department of Plant Science, University of New Hampshire, Durham NH 03824 Research on hull-less seeded strains of pumpkin was initiated at the NJ Agr. Exp. Sta. 10 years ago, and during the past 6 years there has been a major effort to develop snack […]
Cold Germinability of Cucumis melo
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:41-43 (Article 16) 1985 Hutton, Mark G. and J. Brent Loy University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 U.S.A. Low soil temperatures in the early portion of the growing season, can severely limit muskmelon seed germination and early seedling development. In fact, low soil temperatures can often kill young seedlings. Our […]
