Impact of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Crop Research, 2023
Summer squash cultivation is becoming more and more popular among farmers due to its increased nutritional content, short growing season, and quicker economic payoff. Although there is a respectable amount of production, India's productivity is extremely poor which is big worry for the commercial cultivation of summer squash and the environmental ...

Expression Profile of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase Genes in Summer Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2015
Carotenoids are important dietary components that can be found in vegetable crops. The accumulation of these compounds in fruit and vegetables is altered by the activity of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) enzymes that produce their degradation.

Influences of different plant spacing on growth and yield of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Crop Research, 2023
In summer squash correct spacing is one of the most vital factors in agricultural plant growth because it helps plants to develop to their maximum potential above and below ground. Plant density is another major factor influencing production. Inter-species competition, in general, reduces production at too high populations.

Genetics of resistance to red pumpkin beetle (A ulacophora foveicollis) in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1987
Resistance to red pumpkin beetle in summer squash was found to be controlled by polygenes. Diallel and Triple test cross analysis revealed the preponderance of non-additive and additive gene effects for resistance respectively. Absence of epistasis for resistance was indicated by both tests.

RATE OF FREEZING AND INTEGRITY OF VEGETABLE TISSUES: IV: Observations on Summer Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Journal of Texture Studies, 1971
AbstractThis paper reports histological observations on blanched and unblanched summer squash tunnel frozen at different rates. The detected textural damage consisted of detached cell layers, cell tearings, cavities, and various changes in the cytoplasm, nucleous, and starch granules.

Irrigation frequency and amount affect yield components of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Agricultural Water Management, 2004
Abstract The aim of this study carried out in Van, Turkey was to determine the most suitable irrigation frequencies and quantities in summer squash ( Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Sakiz) grown under field conditions. Irrigation quantities were based on pan evaporation ( E pan ) from a screened class-A pan.

Heterotic patterns in hybrids involving cultivar-groups of summer squash, Cucurbita pepo L.

Euphytica, 2004
Heterotic response for total yield among five cultivar-groups of summer squash, Cocozelle, Vegetable Marrow, Zucchini, Crookneck and Straightneck, was studied in two sets of diallel crosses evaluated in two harvest seasons. Each diallel cross included two representatives of each the five cultivar-groups.

Summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) leaf number as influenced by thermal time

Scientia Horticulturae, 1997
Abstract Different planting dates were used to study the influence of thermal time on the leaf numbers of four summer squash ( Cucurbita pepo L.) cultivars. Thermal time (°Cd) was calculated using a base temperature of 8 °C and a ceiling temperature of 32 °C.

The inheritance of white fruit and stem color in summer squash Cucurbita pepo L.

Euphytica, 1969
White fruited plants from the variety “White bush” were crossed to green and striped fruit in order to study the inheritance of white fruit in summer squash. The genetic ratio suggested that green fruit is controlled by two genes, C and R, and that one (C) has a dominant epistatic control. The white fruit is determined as ccrr.
