Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Inheritance of parthenocarpy in summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.).

Genetics and molecular research : GMR, 2005
The inheritance of the tendency to set parthenocarpic fruit in the summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) line Whitaker was studied. Two parental lines, Whitaker (parthenocarpic) and Caserta (non-parthenocarpic), and the F1 and F2 generations and backcrosses to both parents were tested.

Sustainability of organic zucchini in Mediterranean environment: an on‐farm experimentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 12, Page 6406-6416, September 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Excess inputs are commonly applied to high‐value crops to ensure high performance. This study hypothesizes that farmers can reduce inputs without compromising yields and aims to investigate the effects of varying irrigation and fertilization strategies on two zucchini genotypes (‘Logos’ and ‘Atlantis’) organically grown under ...
