Hi, I'm doing a research paper for my bio class and I chose to do hybrid vigor as a topic. I haven't had AGGC access for a long time, so i'm looking for a list of top 10 pumpkins from each of these...
723 Bobier
846 Calai
712 Kuhn
1092 Burke
760 Patrick
735 Pukos
1260 Weir
869 Calai
898 Knauss
709.5 McCallum
734 Cheam
Thanks,
Tom

I'd also like a list of 805 offspring... If you can;t tell I'm getting 2-3 examples of "hybrid vigor" crosses, selfed seeds, crosses, and back crosses... mainly 935 and 567 strains because they have been widely grown and inbred for multiple generations. If you know of another seed that's not 935 or 567 related that would be a good example let me know, I want to be sure I have a variety of crosses to analyze. Thanks,
Tom

I think this info is available in the "non-members" section of the aggc. Check it out.
