Vegetable Improvement Newsletter (1959-1982)

Vegetable Improvement Newsletter (VIN) history

The Vegetable Improvement Newsletter (VIN) was started in 1959 by the Committee on Vegetable Breeding and Varieties of the American Society for Horticultural Science. VIN was intended as a vehicle to facilitate the exchange of information and seed stocks among individuals concerned with the breeding or testing of new varieties of vegetables. VIN regularly contained sections on research notes, variety announcements, stocks available, and stocks desired. In many ways, VIN was a forerunner and inspiration to CGC and the CGC Report.

VIN was compiled for 24 years by Henry M. Munger (1959-1962, 1965-1982) and D.H. Wallace (1963-64) of Cornell University. Of special interest was the Research Notes section, which carried reports of breeding techniques, monogenic mutations, germplasm evaluation, interspecific and intergeneric recombination, and other items of interest to vegetable breeders and geneticists. Much of this information is still of interest.

Tables of Content for All Volumes (1959-1982)

Below are the combined tables of contents of the Vegetable Improvement Newsletter. The articles deal with the genetics and breeding of cucurbit crops including cucumber (Cucumis sativus), melon (Cucumis melo), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), squash and pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.), and other genera, including the gourds and wild relatives. The reports are unrefereed, but have a lot of scientific experience behind them, so provide useful information for those working in the area.
