Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are widely used in mapping constructions and comparative genetic diversity analyses. Here, 103,056 SSR loci were found Cucurbita species by silico PCR. In general, the frequency of these SSRs decreased with increase motif length, di-nucleotide motifs most common type. For same repeat types, sharply number. The majority suitable for marker development (84.75% mosch...

Abstract Background: The fruit of pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima D.), one genus Cucurbita, family Cucurbitaceae, has antioxidant activity due to the content metabolites including amino acids, fatty alpha-tocopherol, beta-tocopherol, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, and beta-sitosterol. carotenoids tocopherols in activity, reduces skin damage sun exposure, can slow down aging process. Objective: st...

• The stress-related phytohormones, salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA), and the three jasmonates, jasmonic acid (JA), cis-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (cis-OPDA), and (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile), were investigated in phloem and xylem exudates of Cucurbita maxima. • Phloem and xylem exudates were separately collected and analysed via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. • ...
