The catalogue describes 151 accessions of Cucurbita maxima Duch., Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex. Poir., and Cucurbita pepo L. in the context of their most important biochemical indicators assessed on the cultivation site at Pushkin and Pavlovsk Laboratories of VIR (St. Petersburg). The aim of this catalogue is to assist plant breeders and researchers interested in studying the genetic diversity of Cucurbita spp. in their search for source material that could be used for the development of new pumpkin cultivars with higher content of valuable biochemical compounds in order to expand the assortment of food products in functional, medicinal and prophylactic diets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
