	Cucurbita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cucurbita is a genus in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae.
		It includes species grown for their fruit and edible seeds (the squashes, pumpkins and marrows, and the chilacayote), as well as some species grown only as gourds.

	<i>Cucurbita texana</i> defined - Hugh D. Wilson
		Cucurbita texana is a free-living system of populations that fall within the primary gene pool of Cucurbita pepo, a species that also includes fully domesticated elements and other free-living population systems.
		pepo lineage is composed of two fundamental elements, formally identified as subspecies ovifera and pepo.
		pepo populations of the eastern U.S. appear to be the result of long-term genetic interactions that have involved both domesticated and free-living entities.

		Cucurbita argyrosperma is one of the cultivated species of the genus which has undergone the most profound study in recent years.
		pepo, as well as to a lesser extent the flowers and young tips of the stems, are eaten in many parts of its native distribution area and in other regions of the world.
		pepo has: creeping plants which are compact or semi-shrubby, annual, monoecious and pubescent-scabrous; broadly ovate-cordate to triangular-cordate leaves, 20 to 30 x 20 to 35 cm, with or without white spots, often with three to five deep lobules, and with denticulate to serrate denticulate margins.

	Escape of the Transgenic Zucchini
		Squash (Cucurbita pepo) is among the four cultivated species of Cucurbita, C. pepo, C. maxima,C. mixa and C. moschata.
		Cucurbita pepo was domesticated about 10,000 years ago making its domestication contemporary with maize and beans (2).
		A commercial C. pepo squash bearing coat protein genes for the two viruses in the original GM squash along with a coat protein gene for Cucumber Mosaic Virus was found to make hybrids with the wild squash C. pepo subspecies ovifera var texana.

		Several Cucurbita species, mostly non-cultivated, are sources of resistance to cucumber mosaic, watermelon mosaic-1, watermelon mosaic-2, squash mosaic and powdery mildew (3).
		pepo and several hundred embryos, some well developed, were cultured to yield 20 backcross plants for the field in 1982.
		Limited amounts of self- and open-pollinated seed were obtained from most of these; backcrosses were not attempted because the population was considered too small to test for resistance to the several diseases of interest.

	Florida Entomologist, v. 79, n. 2, p. 206
		Cucurbita pepo varieties ‘Elite’ (zucchini) and ‘Supersett’ (yellow crookneck squash) are commonly grown in Central Florida.
		Counts of whiteflies on the C. pepo cultigens were analyzed separately from counts on the four wild Cucurbita accessions because of uncertainty in relating within-plant sample location on the vining wild species to location within the bushy C. pepo cultigens.
		pepo cultigens were significantly less hairy than C. ecuadorensis but not C. martinezii, and in general, yellow squash cultigens were hairier than the zucchini cultigens.

	Inheritance of parthenocarpy in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)
		The inheritance of the tendency to set parthenocarpic fruit in the summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) line Whitaker was studied.
		Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) is normally a monoecious crop.
		Male flowers occur at the end of slender stems and have three anthers, whereas female flowers occur at the end of short peduncles and have a thick style and a two-lobed stigma; a swollen ovary occurs at the base of the corolla and is divided into 3-5 sections.

		Perhaps the Indian word for squash, askutasquash, which means "eaten raw or uncooked," is derived from the use of raw seeds rather than the pulp.
		The flesh of wild Cucurbita species is reported to be so bitter that it is inedible, so seeds were likely to have been the first parts eaten.

		Pumpkin seeds of the genus Cucurbita have enjoyed a long history in folk medicine for use as teniafuges, or agents with the ability to rid the body of intestinal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms.
		Derived from such species as Autumn Squash, Crookneck Squash, and the Canada Pumpkin, cucurbita seeds can be consumed plain, or be administered in the form of an infusion or tea.
		Usually taken in three separate doses ranging in size from 20 to 150 grams of seeds, the treatment is believed to paralyze the worms, causing them to loosen their grasp and then allowing for them to be an effectively expelled from the body.

	ARS \| Publication request: Phylogenetic Relationships and Substitution Patterns in Squash (Cucurbita Pepo) As Revealed ...
		Genetic diversity (differences among DNA which compose genes which provide the expression of the characteristics that humans can see) in squash (scientific name = Cucurbita pepo L.) forms the basis for recognition of five infraspecific groups (different types such as crookneck and zuchinni) representing three wild and two domesticated (selected by man through time) groups.
		Technical Abstract: Five hypervariable regions of plastid DNA were surveyed for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that might be useful for revealing evolutionary relationships and nucleotide substitution patterns in the domesticated squash Cucurbita pepo L. Seven such SNPs were found in four of the five plastid regions.
		Six of the seven substitutions within C. pepo were part of the G to A to C to T to G series of substitutions that had been previously documented for the Cucurbitaceae.
