Malate Dehydrogenase Variation in African Cucumis species: A Testable Genetic Hypothesis

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 9:18-23 (article 6) 1986 J.E. Staub USDA, ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Electrophoretic, cucurbitacin and flavonoid variation; chromosome homology; and plant morphology have been studied to determine taxonomic relationships among cross-compatible species of Cucumis (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15). These studies have […]

Inheritance of Short-day response to Flowering in Crosses Between a Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef. Line and Cucumis sativus L. Lines

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:4-5 (article 2) 1982 P. T. Della Vecchia, C. E. Peterson and J. E. Staub University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef. has been suggested as a possible source of germplasm for increasing yield in pickling cucumbers (1). Potentially the most useful characteristic of ‘hardwickii’ types is their ability to […]

Effect of the Duration of Short-day Treatment on the Flowering Response of a Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef. Line

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:2-3 (article 1) 1982 P. T. Della Vecchia, C. E. Peterson, and J. E. Staub University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Since Horst and Lower (1) first reported on the potential of Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef. as a possible source of germplasm for increasing yield in pickling cucumbers, there has been considerable interest by […]
