Annual Reports
The CGC reports are the main feature of the cooperative. 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. Full articles of each CGC volume are published on the website after three years in the print version.
