Method for the Development and characterization of Microsatellite Markers in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 23:4-7 (article 2) 2000 G. Fazio and J.E. Staub USDA-ARS Vegetable Crops Research Unit, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Horticulture, 1575 Linden Dr., Madison WI 53706 Introduction. Genetic markers such as isozymes, RAPDs and RFLPs have ben characterized in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) (Dijkhuizen et al., 1996; Serquen et al., 1997). […]
Attempts at Colchicine Doubling of an Interspecific Hybrid of Cucumis sativus L. x C. hystrix Chakr.
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 20:24-26 (article 12) 1997 J.F. Chen and J.E. Staub Vegetable Crops Research Unit, USDA/ARS, Departments of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI. 53706 U.S.A. Introduction. Traditional approaches for interspecific hybridization have been used in Cucumis. These include growth regulator application (Custer and den Nijs, 1986), pollen irradiation (Beharav and Cohen, 1994), use […]
Effects of Water Stress on Fruit Quality in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 20:11-12 (article 6) 1997 S. Serce and J.E. Staub Vegetable Crops Research Unit, USDA/ARS, Departments of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI. 53706 U.S.A. Introduction. Cucumber vine growth, lateral branching, leaf area, fruit set, and growth rate are adversely affected when plants are subjected to soil moisture deficits (Cummins and Kretchman, 1975). […]
Regeneration of Interspecific Hybrids of Cucumis Sativus L. x C. hystrix Chakr. by Direct Embryo Culture
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 19:34-35 (article 13) 1996 J.F. Chen and J.E. Staub, Y.

Underestimation of Detection of QTLs When Using Dominant Genetic Makers: The Case of RAPDs in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 19:13-16 (article 5) 1996 F.C. Serquen and J.E. Staub Vegetable Crops Research, USDA/ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI 53706 Introduction. Our laboratory has been interested in using random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) as a tool for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Phenotype selection based on traits […]
Environment can Affect the Placement of Discrete Traits on Genetic Maps: The Case of Sex Expression in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 19:10-12 (article 4) 1996 F.C. Serquen and J.E. Staub Vegetable Crops Research, USDA/ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI 53706 U.S.A. Introduction. Several genetic maps have been constructed in cucumber using morphological and biochemical markers (3,4). These maps have incorporated discrete, qualitative loci which have lead to a better understanding […]

Selection for Multiple Lateral Determinate Cucumber Genotypes
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:5-6 (article 3) 1995 J.E. Staub and L. Crubaugh Vegetable Crops Research, USDA/ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI 53706 U.S.A. Introduction. Manipulation of plant architecture with concomitant adjustments in plant population density can be utilized to increase the yield potential of cucumber. Determinate plants are homozygous recessive for a […]
