Phylogenetic Relationships Among Several African Cucumis Species: A Working Evolutionary Hypothesis

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 15:4-6 (article 2) 1992 J.E. Staub and L.D. Knerr Vegetable Crops Research, USDA/ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 Phylogenetic models of the genus Cucumis have been constructed based on variation in morphology and geography, cucurbitacins, flavonoids, cytological studies and chromosome banding patterns, cross-compatibility, isozymes, and nuclear DNA.

A Multivariate Re-evaluation of Biochemical Genetic Diversity in Cucumis sativus L.

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:25-28 (article 10) 1991 L. D. Knerr and J. E. Staub Vegetable Crops Research, USDA/ARS, Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin, Madison 53706 Genetic diversity in the U.S. Cucumis sativus var. sativus L. and var. hardwickii (R.) Alef. germplasm collection was assessed using 18 putative enzyme coding loci (2). These loci […]
