Obtention of Embryos and Plants From In Vitro Culture of Fertilized Ovules of Cucumis melo 5 Days After Pollination
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:62-63 (article 33) 1987 A. Sauton INRA, Station d’Amèlioration des Plantes maraîchères, 84140 Montfavet, France In Cucurbitaceae, failure of interspecific hybridization may be due to an early abortion of the hybrid embryos (3). Young Cucumis embryos when they are extracted at globular or heart shape stages are sometimes able to continue […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:51-55 (article 29) 1987 M. Pitrat, C. Ferrière, M. Ricard Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique 84140 Avignon-Montfavet, France Until now 9 independent gene groups have been described in muskmelon. We continue to make systematic studies to improve our knowledge of melon genetics. The names and symbols of the genes used […]

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:49-50 (article 28) 1987 T. A. More, V. S. Seshadri and M. B. Magdum Division of Vegetable Crops, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi-110012, India Development of true breeding gynoecious lines has led to phenomenal exploitation of heterosis and development of hybrids in cucumber. Research on this aspect in muskmelon has […]
Inheritance of Gynoecious Sex Type in Muskmelon
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:47-48 (article 27) 1987 D. Kenigsbuch and Y. Cohen Department of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Can 52100, Israel Rosa (6) in his earliest experiments on the inheritance of flower type in muskmelon, showed that monoecism is dominant to andromonecism by a single pair of alleles. Poole and Grienball (5) proposed a […]
