Germplasm enhancement of Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin, squash, gourd: Cucurbitaceae): progress and challenges

2016-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Cucurbita pepo is extremely diverse in fruit characteristics. Native to semi-arid and temperate regions of North America, C. pepo was domesticated at least twice, in Mexico over 10,000 years ago and in the United States over 4000 years ago. There is no evidence for the existence of Cucurbita in the Old World prior to 1492. Pumpkins and squash of C. pepo are today found in countries on all continents. Pumpkins are...
