“…The effectiveness of a crop breeding program is determined by the genetic dive availability, genomic data available, and indirect effects on yields and its features Genetic diversity presence is a precondition for any strategy of crop development. Ge resources are quite a fundamental keystone of a plan to improve crops [64]. These inc the variety of genetic variabilities accessible in landraces, conventional cultivars, assu ancestral shape, ancient cultivars, types of wild relatives, and associated non-edible herbs [65].…”

Pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.): A Crop to Mitigate Food and Nutritional Challenges

The world’s food and agricultural programs have gradually declined into an unsustainable situation due to challenges such as increase in world population, varied agro-climatic regions, increase temperature, extreme sole-culture growing techniques, and water shortage. A considerable emphasis has been put on few staple food crops coupled with repeated dieting, food scarcity, and essential mineral deficits, frequently inducing dietary disorders. Because relying on staple crops may lead to serious food shortages in the future, we must adjust our dietary habits to include a diverse range of non-staple foods and maximize their use in order to achieve food security and reduce the nutritional gap. To assure healthy meals around the world, an authentic and reasonable strategy is presented to draw additional awareness towards variations in agricultural production techniques and dietary preferences. The EAT-Lancet declaration highlighted the importance of increasing agri-based foods to achieve sustainable health. Expanding overlooked crops with abundant genetic stocks and possibly beneficial characteristics is an approach that might meet food and nutritional security challenges. Although undervalued, pumpkin is a valuable vegetable herbaceous plant that contributes to global food and nutritional security. This crop has already been identified as a revolutionary age crop, balanced food, and more adapted to low soil and atmospheric circumstances than other major crops. This review paper focuses on the potential uses of pumpkin as an underutilized crop; diversification and development of hybrids, particularly hybridization breeding through diallel mating design; and how implementation of this “modern” technology would contribute to the breeding of the neglected pumpkin vegetable and stimulate productivity and nourish the world’s largest malnourished, deprived, and starved populations.

Cucumis sativus L. belong to Cucurbitaceous. The Phytochemical profiling of white foamy substance was performed using HR-LCMS, details of projecting compounds with MS spectra, peak list, and compound structure were studied. The prominent constituent analysis (PCA) of the investigative data displayed the existence of Triterpenes: Gitoxigenin (7.76ppm), Strophanthidin(13.79ppm), Cucurbita in-C (-0.8ppm), Cucurbita in-E(5.53ppm), and Cardiac glycosides: and Digitoxigenin(-2.13ppm) in 10µl of the loaded sample.100 other composites were identified by accurate mass of Q-TOF/MS and confirmed by database compounds (IRM calibration) which comprises, abscisic acid amino acids, fatty acids pyridylactic acid etc. Strophanthidin in the premier attention in the white foamy extract is a noteworthy finding where it has interaction with various proteins in biochemical reactions. This study reports the customary implication of removing white foamy substances before slicing for ingestion. It is used as both vegetables as well as fruit in Indian traditional medicine. It is a source of bioactive compounds.

The metabolite profiling of white foamy substance local white cultivar of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was performed using HR-LCMS. Prominent compounds with MS spectra, peak list, and compound structure were studied. Which pertains to Cucurbitaceae. The cytotoxic activity was studied on onion root tip squash and microscopic evaluation was done. The principal component analysis (PCA) of the analytical data showed the presence of Triterpenes: Cucurbitacin-C (0.8ppm), Cucurbitacin-E (5.53ppm) and Cardiac glycosides: Gitoxigenin (7.76ppm), Strophanthidin (13.79ppm), and Digitoxigenin (2.13ppm) in 10μl of the loaded sample.100 other compounds were identified by accurate mass of Q-TOF/MS and verified by database compounds (IRM calibration). Strophanthidin in the highest concentration in the foamy extract is a significant finding. This study reports the traditional significance of removing white foamy substances for bitterness in cucumber before slicing. The cytotoxic study on onion root tips by photomicrograph study indicates reduction in root growth and chromosomal aberrations, disturbed telophase, anaphase, abnormal cell shape, dissolved chromosomes, membrane damage and nuclear lesions.
