Resistance in Cucumis sativus L. to Tetranychus urticae Koch. 7. The inheritance of resistance and bitterness and the relation between these characters

Summary The inheritance of resistance to the twospotted spider mite and of bitterness in cucumber has been studied in three sets of P₁, P₂, F₁, F₂, B₁₁ and B₁₂ of crosses between three bitter, resistant lines and one non-bitter, susceptible line. Resistance to the twospotted spider mite as measured by acceptance and oviposition appeared to be determined by several to many genes, which are inherited mainly in an additive fashion. Bitterness is basically governed by the gene Bi, which, contrary to earlier reports, is inherited in an intermediary way, while the expression of Bi is influenced by additively inherited intensifier genes. Whereas Bi and the bitterness intensifier genes are not related to the resistance factors acceptance and oviposition, they are related to resistance or tolerance as measured by the damage index. This relation is explained by linkage rather than by identity of the genes concerned. Changes in the test methods and breeding consequences are discussed.     

黄瓜酶促抗氧化系统对逆境胁迫的生理响应研究进展

黄瓜是一种深受消费者喜爱的蔬菜,但其在采后贮运过程中不可避免地会受到机械损伤、高温、冷害、盐碱、病虫害等环境的胁迫。当遭受逆境胁迫时,其体内的酶促抗氧化系统会对逆境胁迫做出相应的生理响应加以抵抗,以减轻因受到逆境胁迫对其品质造成的伤害。本文主要介绍植物体内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)等抗氧化酶系统,综述黄瓜酶促抗氧化系统对逆境胁迫生理响应的研究进展,旨在对黄瓜果实采后逆境胁迫防控提供一定的参考。

Inheritance of firmness in raw cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit

Summary Inheritance of raw cucumber fruit texture (Magness-Taylor Fruit Pressure Tester firmness) was investigated over a 4-year period from 1971–1974. Results from 2 separate but related experiments suggested that firmness was quantitatively inherited with sufficient additive effects to permit gain from selection. In a selection study within 4 F₂ populations derived from crosses between firm (Chipper and Gy3) and soft (Mincu and Green F) fruit type cultivars, variation among and within F₃ and F₄ families was significant but overall family means were not significantly higher than the high parent in any of the 4 crosses. Narrow sense heritability estimates for fruit texture were 0.80 in the Mincu × Chipper population and 0.77 in the Green F × Chipper, Mincu × Gy3, and Gy3 × Green F crosses. In a separate experiment, generation means analysis was used to assess the mode of gene action in 2 crosses: Green F × Chipper, and Gy3 × Green F. Additive genetic effects accounted for 98.8% and 99.3% of the total genetic variation within each cross, respectively.Scientific Journal Series Paper No. 9794.     

Occurrence and chromosome number of Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (Royle) Alef. in South India and its bearing on the origin of cultivated cucumber

Summary Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (Royle) Alef., the wild progenitor of cultivated C. sativus is reported for the first time from peninsular India. The South Indian specimens showed n=7 bivalents in PMCs. The discontinous occurrence of the wild taxon in the Himalayan regions and peninsular hills and the existence of cultivars of C. sativus adapted to the tropical and temperate climates suggest polytopic domestication of the cultivated forms. The possibility of utilizing this wild germplasm for crop improvement is indicated.     

Cotyledon angle as a predictor of growth rate of cucumber plant

Summary Experiments conducted in the greenhouse and in the field indicated that plants produced from seedlings of Cucumis sativus L. which displayed their cotyledons in an upward position grew faster than plants which displayed their cotyledons in a downward position. Cotyledon angle was not a function of seed size nor seedling weight at 10 days after planting. An increase in plant height, node number, and fresh weight at later growth stages was associated with an upward cotyledon angle and persisted until time of harvest. Anthesis tended to occur later in plants having a downward cotyledon angle. The number of pistillate flowers was greater in plants with an upward cotyledon angle compared to those with a downward cotyledon angle. Differences in yield (fruit number) were not associated with cotyledon angle.Paper No. 5432 of the Journal Series of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, Raleigh, NC.

包膜尿素不同用量对黄瓜幼苗生长及氮平衡的影响

为确定合理的包膜尿素用量以指导黄瓜育苗施肥,采用生产中常用的草炭:蛭石(2:1)为育苗基质,研究了包膜尿素不同用量对黄瓜幼苗生长、养分吸收及氮平衡的影响。结果表明:包膜尿素用量在125~375 mg N/株的情况下,可协调黄瓜幼苗地上部和地下部的生长,促进幼苗对磷、钾的吸收;移栽时,基质中的氮素残留总量90.5~250.3 mg N/株,其中,残留的包膜氮素占75.4%~82.3%,可实现带肥移栽;育苗期间可产生31.9~121.5 mg N/钵的氮素表观损失。

Effect of inbreeding on horticultural performance of lines developed from an open-pollinated pickling cucumber population

Summary The effect of self-pollination of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) for 6 generations in lines developed from the North Carolina Medium Base Pickle population was determined by regression of trait expression for each generation on Wright's coefficient of inbreeding. Two yield traits (total and marketable), earliness and 3 fruit quality traits (shape, color and seedcell size) were evaluated in 2 environments (spring and summer, 1983). The regression did not result in significant negative slopes, indicating that inbreeding depression was not important in the population for the traits studied. Midparent heterosis was found for most traits in many hybrids obtained from crossing S₆ lines with the gynoecious inbred line, Gy 14A.
