The results revealed that the pumpkin cultivars showed large variations in fruit stem length, single fruit weight, fruit length and flesh thickness, but small variations in initial flowering date. Significant, even highly significant correlations were found among the tested traits. Cluster analysis demonstrated that the 41 old Cucurbita moschata cultivars were divided into three groups, of which multiple traits of Group 1 were better than those in the other two groups. High similarities existed in three groups and the cultivars in each group. This research provided basis for selecting excellent traits and parents for the breeding of hybrids.展开更多

[Method] A pair of degenerate primers was designed based on the conserved sequences of NAC gene from Brassica napus, Lycopersicon esculentum and Capsicum annuum. NAC transcription factor gene was amplified by RT-PCR from Cucurbita moschata leaves and cloned into pMD-19T vector; then the recombinant clones were sequenced. Finally, the sequences of nucleic acid and amino acid were analyzed using BLAST and DNAMAN software. [Result] The NAC transcription factor gene cloned from C. moschata included 442 bp encoding 147 amino acids, named CmNAC. The NAC gene fragment contained a conserved region like other plant NAC genes and belonged to the NAC family ATAF1/2 subfamily. [Conclusion] The stress resistance related gene NAC cloned from C. moschata is a foundation for further study on the biological function of the gene and plant genetic engineering.展开更多

The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit cell parameters a = 55.853, b = 65.507, c = 91.754 А, and have one molecule per asymmetric unit. X-ray data have been collected to 1.8А, using a synchrotron source.展开更多

By using the established simple method, without grinding, freezing, centrifugation and drying, the genomic DNA extraction process is shorter than 3 min. Compared with the conventional method, PCR detection system and silver staining in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the established method are more time-saving and cost-saving. The whole detection process is shorter than 4 h, and 480 samples can be detected with this method by one person in one day. In addition, the detection result exhibits a coincidence rate of 99% with field identification. The simple SSR-based method established in this study can provide basis for large-scale rapid purity identification of Cucurbita moschata hybrids.展开更多
