Pleiotropic mutation in a tendril TCP gene underlies the yield-enhancing multiple-flowering trait in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo). [PDF]
SUMMARY Crop yield is a focal point in plant breeding. Regulation of lateral budding through apical dominance was a central target of crop domestication, directly affecting crop production. The young fruits of Cucurbita pepo, summer squash, are produced on plants characterized by apical dominance and differentiation of a single flower bud per leaf axil.

Bioactive compounds from Cucumis melo L. fruits as potential nutraceutical food ingredients and juice processing using membrane technology. [PDF]
Melon pulp contains nutrients such as minerals, fibers, carotenoids, and vitamin C. Maazoun flesh could be interesting as a dietary supplement in food applications. The high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated that amentoflavone and gallic acid were the major phenolic compounds.

Embryo-rescue Culture in `Galia' Male Parental Line Melon [Cucumis melo (L.) var. reticulatus Ser.] [PDF]
Embryo abortion and empty seeds after self-pollination occur in some transgenic (ACO antisense) `Galia' male parental lines. An embryo-rescue system in this melon was developed to save potential viable embryos. To obtain the best and reliable embryo-rescue technique, several parameters were used including an improved (five new supplements) nutrient ...

Extended Shelf Life in Transgenic `Galia' Melon (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus Ser.) [PDF]
`Galia' is a high-quality muskmelon cultivar that is grown in green-houses or tunnels to maximize fruit yield and to help improve fruit quality. Maximum fruit quality and flavor are achieved when `Galia' are harvested at maturity. This however leads to reduced firmness and short shelf life. In vitro regeneration and transformation of `Galia' melon is a

Fruit Growth and Development of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus Naud.) [PDF]
As part of a program to develop a model for growth and development of muskmelon produced under various mulch and row cover combinations, all perfect flowers of five plants were tagged and measured on a daily basis. The polar and equatorial lengths of the inferior ovary were recorded from anthesis to fruit maturity.

Melon breeding is directed at improving the quality of the fruit needed to meet consumers’ demands. The assessment of hybrid melon candidates on important characteristics (vitamin A, vitamin C, and TSS) at five maturity stages is needed to get hybrid melon varieties with good fruit quality and determine the right harvest time.
