Cucumber Shoot Tip Growth on 9 Nitrogen Sources in in vitro Culture

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:10-11 (article 5) 1982 Robert D. Locy and Todd C. Wehner North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Previous research (2) indicated that cotyledon explants formed adventitious shoots in culture whereas hypocotyl explants did not. A possible explanation for that is that hypocotyl explants must rely primarily on nitrogen supplied from […]

Correlation of Single-plant Yield with Multiple-harvest yield in Pickling Cucumber

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:14-15 (article 7) 1982 Todd C. Wehner North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 There are 2 basic methods for evaluating breeding material for yield: selection based on single plants, and selection based on rows (usually progeny of single plants). Single-plant selection permits the evaluation of more genotypes with a given […]

Genetic Variation for Low-Temperature Germination Ability in Cucumber

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:16-17 (article 8) 1982 Todd C. Wehner North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Low-temperature germination ability in cucumber varieties may be useful in establishing earlier and more uniform stands for spring plantings. Previous research showed that there were differences in germination speed at temperature below 17°C (1). Also % germination […]

Correlation of Multiple-harvest Yield with Once-over Yield in Small Plots for Fresh-market Cucumbers

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:20-21 (article 10) 1982 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Probably the most accurate method of measuring yield of fresh-market cucumber lines is through a multiple-harvest trial with large replicated plots. However, in a breeding program, it is usually necessary to evaluate more […]
