  • A High-Density Linkage Map and QTL Mapping of Fruit-Related Traits in Pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata Duch.)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A high-density linkage map and QTL mapping of fruit-related traits in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Received: 7 June 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Duch.) Published: xx xx xxxx Yu-Juan Zhong1,2, Yang-Yang Zhou1,2, Jun-Xing Li1,2, Ting Yu3, Ting-Quan Wu1,2, Jian-Ning Luo1, Shao-Bo Luo1,2 & He-Xun Huang1 Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an economically worldwide crop. Few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were reported previously due to the lack of genomic and genetic resources. In this study, a high- density linkage map of C. moschata was structured by double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, using 200 F2 individuals of CMO-1 × CMO-97. By fltering 74,899 SNPs, a total of 3,470 high quality SNP markers were assigned to the map spanning a total genetic distance of 3087.03 cM on 20 linkage groups (LGs) with an average genetic distance of 0.89 cM. Based on this map, both pericarp color and strip were fned mapped to a novel single locus on LG8 in the same region of 0.31 cM with phenotypic variance explained (PVE) of 93.6% and 90.2%, respectively. QTL analysis was also performed on carotenoids, sugars, tuberculate fruit, fruit diameter, thickness and chamber width with a total of 12 traits. 29 QTLs distributed in 9 LGs were detected with PVE from 9.6% to 28.6%. It was the frst high-density linkage SNP map for C. moschata which was proved to be a valuable tool for gene or QTL mapping.

Scientists continue studies on the chemical composition of many products in search of foods with high nutritional value. The pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.) is unquestionably a source of valuable nutrients. This vegetable is well-known all over the world and it is appreciated due to its high content of carotenoids, but it is still not much used in the processing industry. The aim of present study was to compare the flesh of 15 pumpkin varieties belonging to the Cucurbita pepo and C. moschata species in terms of the bioactive compound content (carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonols, minerals and vitamins) and to demonstrate whether the variety has an effect on the chemical composition. To date, no such extensive research has been carried out in this area. The research revealed that the pumpkin pulp had high content of carotenoids. In nearly all cases lutein was the most abundant carotenoid. Numerous phenolic acids and flavonols were also identified. All the cultivars contained gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and rutin.

[email protected] Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) has high potential as source of carotenoids with provitamin A activity, especially all-trans-β-carotene, and are widely consumed by the Brazilian population. Consumption may be useful in preventing the vitamin A deficiency, which corresponds to a public health concern in Brazil. The cooking style can affect the carotenoids retention, induce the isomerization cis-trans of the β-carotene, bioaccessibility and bioavailability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioaccessibility of carotenoids in biofortified pumpkins submitted to different cooking styles through microscopic techniques. Five biofortified pumpkin genotypes were submitted to three cooking methods (boiled in water, steam and microwave oven). The anatomical analyses revealed some differences regarding the integrity and morphological traits of parenchyma cells from mesocarp, related to the type and time of cooking.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Rebecca Nelson Brown for The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Rebecca Nelson Brown for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Horticulture presented on July 2. 2001. Title: Traditional and Molecular Approaches to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus Resistance in Cucurbita Abstract approved: 7 James R. Myers 7 Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an important disease of Cucurbita worldwide. Resistant cultivars are the best means of control. ZYMV resistance is quantitative in the wild species C. ecuadorensis, and is controlled by at least three genes in tropical C moschata. Very little molecular work has been done in Cucurbita, and no markers are available to assist in selecting for ZYMV resistance genes. The objectives of this research were threefold: to develop molecular markers for use in breeding for ZYMV resistance, to develop a framework map of Cucurbita, and to transfer ZYMV resistance from C. ecuadorensis to C. maxima 'Golden Delicious'. The identification of a DNA marker linked to ZYMV resistance from C moschata TSIigerian Local' was attempted using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of resistant and susceptible bulks from the crosses C moschata 'Waltham Butternut' x CWaltham Butternut' x TSIigerian Local'). No marker consistently linked to ZYMV resistance was identified. Marker polymorphism was 14% between the parents. The cross C pepo A0449 x (A0449 x TSTigerian Local') was used as the mapping population to construct the framework map. The completed map consists of 153 loci in 29 linkage groups covering 1,981 cM. Approximately 75% of the Cucurbita genome is covered. Three morphological traits, two quantitative trait loci and a putative secondary ZYMV resistance gene have been placed on the map; an additional eight traits and nine RAPD markers remain unlinked.

  • Cultivar-Groups in Cucurbita Maxima Duchesne: Diversity and Possible Domestication Pathways
    diversity Review Cultivar-Groups in Cucurbita maxima Duchesne: Diversity and Possible Domestication Pathways Fernando Sebastián López-Anido Cátedra de Genética, Facultad Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Rosario-IICAR Conicet, Zavalla S2125ZAA, Argentina; [email protected] Abstract: Domesticated Cucurbita has been remarked as one of the plant genera with the highest diversity in color, shape and fruit dimensions. Their economic and cultural values are related to the consumption of the mature or immature fruits, seeds, flowers, and to the use as decoration. The wild ancestor of C. maxima, the ssp. andreana has an actual scattered and disjointed distribution, associated with megafauna seed disperser syndrome. It was domesticated in South America around 9000–7000 years BP. The cultivar-group is a subspecific category for assembling cultivars on the basis of defined similarity. The work describes and pictures nine cultivar-groups for the species, Banana, Turban, Hubbard, Show, Buttercup, Zapallito, Plomo, Zipinka and Nugget. The molecular and a morphological join data analysis scatter biplot showed Turban and Buttercup in a central position, suggesting a first step in the domestication pathway associated with seed and immature fruit consumption; afterward, bigger bearing fruits groups were selected for their mature fruit flesh quality on one hand, and bush type, short day induction and temperate climate adaptation on the other hand. The striking domesticated Brazilian accession MAX24 intermediate between cultigens and ssp. andreana strengthens, in concordance with archeological remains, the possible domestication place of the species more easternward than previously believed.

    Abundant Future: Cultivating Diversity in Garden, Farm, & Field The Fourth New York Botanical Garden Triennial November 21, 2020–March 26, 2021 Abundant Future: Cultivating Diversity in Garden, Farm, and Field celebrates the astonishing diversity and fascinating history of cultivated plants grown for clothing, healing, and most of all, for food. The subjects of these works were discovered on international travels, picked up at the farmer’s market, even plucked from artists’ own gardens. As the artists spent time with their chosen plants to ensure faithful depictions, they each learned about the history of cultivated varieties or the signifcance of wild relatives that played an important role in yielding the fruits and vegetables we know today. The exquisite works on view here celebrate the artistry of plant breeding; the challenges of maintaining genetic diversity in domesticated crops, many of which have lost traits that can help them resist climate change, environmental stresses, and disease; and the potential for rejuvenation to be found in heirloom and ancient plant revival. All images © the artists Pumpkins, Squashes, and Melons There are hundreds of species in the Cucurbitaceae (cucurbit) family. Pumpkins, squash, gourds, melons, and even gherkins were frst cultivated in Central America. Species native to Central America, Cucurbita pepo, C. moschata, and C. maxima, were dispersed through trade and have become integral to cuisines worldwide. These species were bred through selection and hybridization to best suit the culinary needs of each culture. In Korea, Cucurbita moschata—typically thought of as tough-skinned squash or pumpkin with a “shell” like that of butternut squash—was bred to produce a thin-skinned, summer squash called aehobak, which is used in a multitude of recipes in Korean cuisine.

  • Survival and Autotomy Rates in Cucurbita Moschata Duchesne (Pumpkin) After Transplanting
    European Journal of Advanced Research in Biological and Life Sciences Vol. 7 No. 1, 2019 ISSN 2056-5984 SURVIVAL AND AUTOTOMY RATES IN CUCURBITA MOSCHATA DUCHESNE (PUMPKIN) AFTER TRANSPLANTING Ji-Young Hwang Man Kyu Huh* Food Science and Technology Major /Dong-eui Food Science and Technology Major /Dong-eui University, KOREA University, KOREA [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Cucurbita moschata Duchesne (pumpkin) is a species originating in either Central America or northern South America. Pumpkin is a multipurpose fruit and leaf vegetable. At the cotyledon or leaf stage when seedlings were approximately 1-10 cm, the young plants were transplanted outdoors. Survival and autotomy rates of pumpkin over time for the different treatments (pH, temperature, transplanting time levels, length of stems, and number of leaves) were analyzed at the end of the experiment. The pH difference between the soil of the greenhouse and the soil of the field decreased the survival rate of the transplanted plants. More autotomy events occurred at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. When stem length was 1 - 3cm, there was almost no autotomy events. When there was only a cotyledon or a leaf, there was almost no occurrence of autotomy events. This species, C. moschata appears unable to change its morphology rapidly in response to the conditions where the seedlings develop. Autotomy of C. moschata may signal a limited potential for adaptation. Keywords: Autotomy, Cucurbita moschata, pumpkin, transplanting. INTRODUCTION The family Cucurbitaceae L. is predominantly of tropical origin with a few members that have been able to adapt to temperate climates (Chavez et al., 2011).
