Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:18-21 (article 7) 1993 Nick E. Fanourakis Technical Educational Institute, Heraklion Crete 71500, Greece Fruit length of cucumber exhibits great variability. Although the inheritance of fruit length has been investigated, data are not comparable because of the varying germplasm sources used and the collection and analysis measure applied (2, 3, 4, […]

Observations on Fruit Netting in Cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:8-9 (article 4) 1993 Michael S. Uchneat and Todd C. Wehner Departmentof Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Several fruit surface (skin) types have been identified in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), including warty (American), smooth (middle-eastern), ridged (greenhouse), and netted (wild). Hutchins (1940) identified the netted trait as […]
Vine Rolling vs. Conventional Multiple Harvest of Cucumbers in North Carolina
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:5-7 (article 3) 1993 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Most cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) in North Carolina are harvested 2 to 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks in two production seasons (spring and summer). Fruits […]
Turgid flowers are essential for good fruit and seed set in cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:3-4 (article 2) 1993 R. Szegedi, I. Cserni and P. Milotay Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, P.O.B. 116, Hungary Fruit number per unit area and shape is generally a good predictor of seed cucumber yield. In short-fruited varieties most of the available ovules are fertilized under optimum conditions resulting in […]
Correlations Between Years for Foliar Gummy Stem Blight Disease Ratings on Field Grown Cucumbers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:1-2 (article 1) 1993 Paul C. St. Amand and Todd C. Wehner Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 It is often desirable to know if resistance data from one test is positively and highly correlated with other tests. A high positive correlation indicates that testing once […]
