A Preliminary Report on Screening Watermelons for Sensitivity to Ozone and Sulfur Dioxide
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 8:57-61 (Article 22) 1985 Eason, Gwen and R. A. Reinert North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Ozone (O3) is the most common cause of air pollutant-induced crop injury (3). Sulfur dioxide (SO2) can enhance or reduce the effects of O3 on crop plants, and at higher concentrations over time, injure […]

Rhodes, Gary Nepa and Stephen Love Clemson University, Edisto Experiment Station, Blackville, SC 29817 Seeds from an old cultivar of watermelons, labeled ‘Moon and Stars’, were obtained from an unidentified farmer in North Carolina several years ago. Its origin is not known. The ‘Moon and […]
Resistance to Anthracnose in Cucurbits – An Overview
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:66-67 (article 33) 1983 B. B. Rhodes and S. Love Clemson University, Edisto Experiment Station, Blackville, SC 29817 The genetics of anthracnose resistance and the physiology of anthracnose resistance are approaching the integration stage in cucurbits. Barnes and Epps (1) reported that two types of resistance to anthracnose exist in cucumber. […]
