* Bolting describes the process by which a leafy plant goes to seed, and its leaves become bittter and inedible. Bolt resistance is a genetic factor, yet may be decreased by physiological stress caused by increased day length, high temperature, closer plant spacing, inadequate fertility, etc. ** CMV – resistant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus; DM 1, 2, 3 – resistant to Downy Mildew (Peronospora Effusa) Races 1, 2, 3 |
