“…However, the significance of SCA indicates that dominance and/or epistatic effects were also involved . The results obtained in this investigation are in agreement with other studies which utilized both CS and CH populations (El-Shawaf & Baker, 1981a, b ;Lower et al, 1982 ;Tasdighi & Baker, 1981a) .…”

“…The relative magnitude of the estimates indicates that additive effects were more important than non-additive effects . Tasdighi & Baker (1981a) also found GCA to be greater than SCA for percent of female nodes in a study in which gynoecious CS lines were crossed with monoecious, hermaphroditic, and androecious CS lines . However, neither estimate of combining ability was significantly greater than zero .…”

Three Cucumis sativus L. (CS) lines adapted to USA growing conditions were used as female parents in crosses to one line each of seven Cucumis sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef . (CH) accessions used as male parents to determine the relative combining ability of the CH accessions for six horticultural characters . The 21 Fl progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design in two locations and evaluated for fruit number, lateral branch number, fruit length, fruit length/diameter ratio, number of female flowering nodes, and days to anthesis . General combining ability (GCA) was significant for all characters in each location . Specific combining ability (SCA) was significant for all characters except days to anthesis in one location and lateral branch number in both locations . Significant location x combining ability interactions were also evident for several characters . Results suggest that CH may be useful for improving fruit yield in commercial cucumber, but that limitations may lie in the attainment of acceptable fruit .

“…The present finding corroborated the earlier work of (Musmade et al, 1986, Srivastava andSrivastava, 1976;and Tasdighi and Baker, 1981). From the results of this experiment, it may be suggested that it is possible to predict the best hybrid combination for yield from the GCA values of the parental lines involved; at least in this population.…”

“…These hybrids also exhibited higher magnitude of economic heterosis with high mean performance. Similar findings for identification of superior parental lines, tester and hybrids based on GCA and SCA effects for fruit yield and morphological characters in cucumber were reported by Golabadi et al, (2015), Tasdighi and Baker (1981), Musmade et al, (1986) and Kumar et al, (2013) for yield and its components and for fruit texture by Yoshioka et al, (2010).…”

“…Most cucumber cultivars grown before 1980 were monoecious. In monoecious cultivars, the staminate flowers are produced first (nodes 1 to 9), followed by an alternating staminate-pistillate stage, and finally, a continuous pistillate stage (Shifriss, 1961;Tasdighi and Baker, 1981). Yield is dependent on pollination, since fruits develop after bees pollinate the pistillate flowers, unless the plant is parthenocarpic.…”

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a major vegetable crop worldwide. Compared with many crops, cucumber reaches harvest stage rapidly. Computer growth models have been developed to help researchers, growers, and processors predict plant development and harvest date. The objective of this study was 1) to study growth and development of cucumber using both days after planting and cumulative heat units (HU) to determine their value in prediction of harvest date for pickling cucumbers grown in North Carolina, and 2) to study vegetative and flowering patterns from planting to harvest. The experiment was a split-plot treatment arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plantings were made every week for 10 weeks (30 April through 2 July). Four cultigens were chosen to represent a range of types. Data on plant growth stage and weather conditions were collected daily. Main growth stages were planting (direct seeding), emergence, vine tip over, flowering, and fruit harvest. Heat units were calculated from weather data using a model with the daily maximum air temperature, a base temperature of 15.5°C, and a reducing ceiling of 32°C. 'Calypso' was the earliest maturing cultigen, M 21 and Wis. SMR 18 were intermediate, and WI 2757 was the latest. Plantings made early in the season required more days to reach fruiting stage than those made later. Heat units were more stable over planting dates than days after planting. 'Calypso' had more branches per plant and more nodes per branch than the dwarf-determinate cultigen M 21. Early yield was correlated with number of branches/plant and nodes/branch. Additional research is needed to improve the heat unit model so that it predicts harvest date accurately regardless of planting date.
