R. W. Robinson Horticulture Dept., Cornell University, Geneva, NY 14456 A sabbatical leave in 1968/69 provided an opportunity for me to visit research institutes in five different countries and test cucurbits for powdery mildew resistance at each location. Sixteen accessions of six cucurbit species were inoculated with powdery mildew spores in greenhouses at Geneva, NY; […]

A Rapid Spectrophotometric Method to Determine β-Carotene Content in Cucumis melo germplasm
β-carotene is a carotenoid that has antioxidant properties, is a precursor of Vitamin A, and imparts the orange color in some fruits and vegetables. This compound is the major carotenoid in cantaloupe. Because of its health benefits, the β-carotene content in fruits is of interest to the food industry and to melon breeders. Current methods […]
