Several loci determining exterior fruit color have been characterized in C. pepo (5), among which are the L-1 and L-2 loci and the D gene. Interactions of multiple alleles at the L-1 and L-2 loci confer varying degrees of dark or light pigmentation, with the dominant alleles L-1 and L-2 conferring dark green coloration and […]

Identification of Natural Sources of Resistance to Powdery Mildew, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and Fruit Flies Infestation in the Indigenous Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Germplasm
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is ranked as one of the least economic important vegetable crops in Sudan despite having high nutritive values and great industrial uses. It is grown in small holdings along rivers banks. The crop is threatened by damage caused by powdery mildew, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (Sid Ahmed et al., 2003) and fruit […]
Two Cucurbita moschata Bush-Parthenocarpic Breeding Lines Through an Interspecific Cross
Cucurbita moschata varieties in Korea have soft flesh when their immature fruits are panbroiled. Their vine growth habit hinders wide cultivation in the greenhouse. Zucchini varieties belonging to Cucurbita pepo have bush growth habit but a little hard flesh when their immature fruits are done. These species are generally non-parthenocarpic although the latter species has […]
