Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative

Overview

The Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative (CGC), established in 1977, provides services for researchers interested in the genetics and breeding of species of the Cucurbitaceae crop family. CGC serves as an organizational vehicle for scientists to informally communicate the results of their research and development efforts. The cooperative emphasizes the free exchange of information and germplasm among members, both public and private. For more information go to "About CGC", where you will find everything you need to know about CGC, including minutes of our last meeting.

Reports

CGC Volume 28 & 29 (2005 / 2006) has been published under a single cover and mailed to members whose dues are up-to-date. Please contact Linda Wessel-Beaver if you have not received your copy.

CGC 30 (2007) is being edited for publishing in the near future.

Many volumes of the CGC Reports are now available online. We have also put the entire Vegetable Improvement Newsletter online. (The Cucurbit Network is available online as well.) Also, the Watermelon Research and Development Group is on the CGC web server.

Contributions are being accepted for CGC 31 (2008) until May 1, 2008. Please send your contribution to the appropriate Associate Editor following the style guide.
