Abstract excerpt
The genus Cucurbita (pumpkin), encompassing C. maxima and C. moschata, is agriculturally and nutritionally significant globally. Herein, we re-sequenced 146 germplasm accessions (51 C. moschata and 95 C. maxima) to characterize genomic variations and identify loci associated with critical traits. Population structure analysis revealed four distinct subgroups: G1 (C. moschata), and G2-G4 (C. maxima), the latter...
