Linkage of Male Sterility and Sex Expression Genes in Cucumber

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:13 (article 11) 1978 R. W. Robinson New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 A male sterile cucumber, obtained from N. Nakamura, was pollinated with the cultivar ‘Lemon’. Linkage was detected between male sterility and the m gene for monoecious vs. andromonoecious sex expression and the l locule number gene (Table 1). The male […]

Linkage relations of genes for tolerance to powdery mildew in cucumber

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:11 (article 9) 1978 R. W. Robinson New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 The F1 of powdery mildew tolerant ‘Ashley’ x susceptible ‘Lemon’ was susceptible to Sphaerotheca fuliginea. The F2 segregated 193 susceptible; 248 tolerant, in a good agreement (p = .5 -.7) with the 27:37 ratio expected if tolerance were […]

Fasciation in the Cucumber

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 1:11 (article 8) 1978 R. W. Robinson New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY 14456 Fasciated plants with wide, flattened stems and increased numbers of leaves, tendrils, and flowers per node, frequently occur in the cucumber cultivar ‘Lemon’ and other andromonoecious cucumber cultivars. Fasciation is associated with opposite leaf arrangement at […]
