  • Synthesis of genetic females and their use in hybrid seed production
    Patent number: 4686319
    Abstract: A synthetic method is described for the development of genetic females in squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) through crosses of monoecious varieties or inbreds followed by selection. The genetic females and true-breeding female lines can be propagated sexually following chemical induction of male flowers. Such female lines can be used as seed parents in production of hybrids as well as germplasm for future breeding programs. The new synthetic method is applicable to other monoecious species of plants.
