Cucurbita

economically important vegetable in the world which is native to North and Central America (Whitaker and Bemis, 1975). Pumpkin belongs to genus Cucurbita of family Cucurbitaceae, generally considered to consist of melons, cucurbits and pumpkins. (Toetia, 1992). There are three common species of pumpkin worldwide: Curcurbita pepo, Curcurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata (Whang et al, 1999). Each species consist of several variet¬ies, which differ in shape, color, and chemical composition. Pumpkin is

nutritional properties and health benefits (Sánchez et al. 2017). Squash belongs to genus Cucurbita L. of the family Cucurbitaceae which also includes pumpkins. Squash is native to Americas where there is evidence of their culture more than 10000 years ago (Smith 1997; Rubatzky and Yamaguchi 1997). The three widely grown species, Cucurbita pepo L. (‘summer aquash’), Cucurbita maxima Duch. (‘winter squash’) and Cucurbita moschata Duch. (‘butternut squash’) are extremely polymorphic in fruit characteristics

The name was later changed to Pompon by the French. The English called it pumpion. The finally it was changed by American Colonist

There is some evidence that proves some eukaryotes lack mitochondria, but there is no true evidence about complete lack of mitochondria in the organisms. Mitochondria

throughout the continent, people still consumed a variety of other plant species, with a few differences depending on the specific region. For example, people in southwestern United Stated maintained species such as beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), squash (Cucurbita pepo ssp. pepo), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus var. macrocarpus) as important components of their diets, even after the establishment of maize as a staple

Another cultigen, with the squash, is the most ancient cultigen of the New World: the bottle gourd. It appeared by 6500 B.C. and was suggested to have been domesticated by 6000 B.C. The established presence of this gourd, assignable to the genus Cucurbita, confirmed eastern North America as a secondary recipient of domesticated plants and agricultural concepts from

Title: The Effects of Freezing on Germination Rate Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to discover which species out of three seeds would have the germination rate be the most negatively affected after being frozen for several days. Seed banks store frozen seeds which implied that freezing seeds doesn’t cause any major damage to the seeds. However, some species of seeds would probably be more resistant to being frozen than others. Seeds are native to and are grown in many different

Archaic groups also exploited several seed and fruit bearing annual plants in northeastern North America (Smith 1992; Hart and Lovis 2013; Munoz et al. 2014). These plants were generally seed bearing annuals including squash (Cucurbita pepo), goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri), marsh elder (Iva annua), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) (Conard et al., 1984; Jackson 1980; Johnston 1984; Smith 1984, 1987, 2006, 2011; Ellis et al. 1990; Crites 1993; Smith and Cowan 2003; Smith and Yarnell 2009; Hart
