| dc.description.abstract | Many vegetables have specific climatic requirements with relatively narrow temperature and moisture optima for best establishment and production. Global climate change threatens food crop production in some areas because of shifts in temperature and moisture distribution. Identifying germplasm with greater environmental adaptability will help sustain global vegetable production. LabFieldTM tables were developed to test seed germination and plant growth in soil maintained at constant temperature or along a gradient of temperatures in a laboratory. The LabFieldTM eliminates using multiple growth chambers to test the same broad range of environments. In this study, we compared field emergence of five melon (Cucumis melo L.) with emergence of the same genotypes on a LabFieldTM table and using standardized Association of Official Seed Analysts germination tests on paper towels. The objectives were to identify genetic variation in germination performance and to test LabFieldTM as a tool for accurately predicting field emergence. | en |
