Abstract:

The Cucurbita genus, a member of Cucurbitaceae family, also known as cucurbits, is native to the Americas. Genus members, like Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita maxima, have been used for centuries in folk medicine for treating gastrointestinal diseases and intestinal parasites. These pharmacological effects are mainly attributed to their phytochemical composition. Indeed, Cucurbita species are a natural source of carotenoids, tocopherols, phenols, terpenoids, saponins, sterols, fatty acids, functional carbohydrates, and polysaccharides, that beyond exerting remarkable biological effects, have also

Abstract:

Soil salinization due to climate change and intensive use of water and soil is increasing exponentially. Cucurbitaceae species are cultivated worldwide and the identification of salinity tolerant genotypes to be used as rootstock or scion for securing yield stability in salt affected agricultural areas is a research priority. In the present greenhouse study, we assessed the response to salinity (0 mM a non-salt control and 150 mM NaCl dissolved in the nutrient solution) in the seedlings of 30 genotypes of cucurbits grown in a floating hydroponic system. The species tested included 16 genotypes

In dioecious and monoecious plants that depend on animal vectors for reproduction, pollinators have to be attracted to male and female flowers for pollination to be effective. In the monoecious Cucurbita maxima ssp. andreana, male flowers are produced in greater quantity, are spatially more exposed to pollinators and offer pollen in addition to nectar as floral rewards. Nectar traits were compared between male and female flowers to determine any differences in the characteristics of the main reward offered to pollinators. Nectar chemical composition and sugar proportions were similar between f

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are widely used in mapping constructions and comparative and genetic diversity analyses. Here, 103,056 SSR loci were found in Cucurbita species by in silico PCR. In general, the frequency of these SSRs decreased with the increase in the motif length, and di-nucleotide motifs were the most common type. For the same repeat types, the SSR frequency decreased sharply with the increase in the repeat number. The majority of the SSR loci were suitable for marker development (84.75% in Cucurbita moschata, 94.53% in Cucurbita maxima, and 95.09% in Cucurbita pepo). Using t

Seed coat color is an important agronomic trait of edible seed pumpkin in Cucurbita maxima. In this study, the development pattern of seed coat was detected in yellow and white seed coat accessions Wuminglv and Agol. Genetic analysis suggested that a single recessive gene white seed coat (wsc) is involved in seed coat color regulation in Cucurbita maxima. An F2 segregating population including 2798 plants was used for fine mapping and a candidate region containing nine genes was identified.

Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) is an economically important vegetable crop of the family Cucurbitaceae. Yellow mosaic in C. maxima was observed in and around Lucknow, India, during the winter season of 1999-2000. High populations of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) were associated with diseased plants. Whiteflies were allowed to feed on diseased C. maxima plants and placed on healthy C. maxima seedlings. Symptoms of yellow mosaic disease were successfully reproduced in the seedlings. These results suggested a possible involvement of a geminivirus with the disease. Total DNA was extracted from infected

Since oospores of P. cubensis were rarely seen and sexual propagation by oospores was never reported (4), it is assumed that it propagates clonally by sporangia.

However, conservation of landraces is challenging because they often cannot be properly identified, or have already suffered from genetic erosion, or have disappeared.

The latter methodology is cheap and easily achievable, allowing the registration of landraces in national catalogues. In this study, we carried out a morphological characterisation of dif
