Multiple Disease Resistant Casaba
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:24 (article 12) 1981 Joseph D. Norton Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849 Multiple disease resistant casaba breeding lines were developed from crosses of casaba cultivars and multiple disease resistant cantaloupe breeding lines. Fruit quality was excellent with total soluble solids of 15.3%. After storage at 21°C for 90 to 120 days, […]
Leaf Miner Resistant Muskmelon Breeding Lines
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 4:12-13 (article 11) 1981 Joseph D. Norton Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849 A severe infestation of leaf miners at the Horticulture Farm, E.V. Smith Research Center led to the discovery of high levels of resistance to leaf miners in certain muskmelon breeding lines during the 1978 growing season. The severe infestation […]

Tolla University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706 (first and second authors); Campbell Institute of Agricultural Research, Napoleon, OH 43545 (third author) Recently, several hormones have been found to induce staminate flowers on gynoecious cucumber: silver nitrate (AgNO3) (1, […]
Embryo Culture of Cucumis Species
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 3:34 (article 19) 1980 J. D. Norton Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36830 Due to embryo abortion in greenhouse crosses, embryo culture was utilized to produce plants from the Cucumis metuliferus x C. melo cross. Although fruit appeared to develop normally in the C. anguria x C. melocross, the embryos aborted before the fruit matured. Plants of C. melo (PI 140471) […]
