Cucurbit Breeding Web Pages

The cucurbit breeding web pages at NC State University were started in 1997 to provide a place to post information on cucurbit breeding activities at the university. The pages have been expanded to provide research summaries on cucumber, luffa gourd and watermelon, full-text articles, computer software, information on project personnel, and links to other sites.

The pages were designed to be read on a computer having a small (15 inch) monitor set at 640 x 480 resolution without having to scroll left and right. The information is presented in outline format to show relationships among items, and to minimize the use of multiple levels to find information. Graphics are kept to a minimum, and usually in a separate area so that pages will load rapidly for people using modem connections. Finally, each page has an author, creation date, and modification date so it can be cited.
