Morphological, Thermal and Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Squash (Cucurbita maxima) and Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata)
The properties of starches isolated from two squash cultivars (Cucurbita maxima) were studied and compared with those of two pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita moschata) and one normal potato cultivar. The amylose content of pumpkin and squash starches ranged from 16.18% to 21.29%. The pumpkin and squash starches appeared as a mixture of spherical, polyhedral and dome shaped granules. The pumpkin and...
متن کاملCucumis SSR Markers Applied to the Study of Genetic Diversity in the Cucurbita Genus
The genus Cucurbita L. includes five cultivated species. C. pepo L., C. maxima Duchesne, and C. moschata Duchesne are the three most economically important. A high level of morphological and agronomical variability exists within these species. Large collections of Cucurbita landraces with a high potential value for breeding are maintained elsewhere. The COMAV’s Genebank at the Polytechnic Unive...
متن کاملAssessment of Genetic Variation in Twelve Accessions of Tropical Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) of South Eastern Nigeria
Submitted: Mar 17, 2013; Accepted: May 1, 2013; Published: Aug 5, 2013 Abstract: Twelve accessions of tropical pumpkin of South Eastern Nigeria were evaluated in 2010 and 2011 to determine the extent of variability that exit in fruit, seed and leaf yield of the crop and to constitute a germplasm collections. Results of the study show that there exists a sufficient genetic variability among the ...

متن کاملShort Communication: Genetic linkage map of Cucurbita maxima with molecular and morphological markers.
Cucurbita maxima is one of the most widely cultivated vegetables in China and exhibits distinct morphological characteristics. In this study, genetic linkage analysis with 57 simple-sequence repeats, 21 amplified fragment length polymorphisms, 3 random-amplified polymorphic DNA, and one morphological marker revealed 20 genetic linkage groups of C. maxima covering a genetic distance of 991.5 cM ...
