CGC Tables of Contents

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative

Tables of Content for All Volumes

The CGC reports are the main feature of the cooperative. The articles deal with the genetics and breeding of cucurbit crops including cucumber (Cucumis sativus), melon (Cucumis melo), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), squash and pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.), and other genera, including the gourds and wild relatives. The reports are unrefereed, but have a lot of scientific experience behind them, so provide useful information for those working in the area.

Below are the combined tables of contents for all volumes published so far.
