3 results about "Cucurbita pepo" patented technology

A Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo plant is provided. The Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo plant comprises a genome having a loss of function mutation in a Cp4.1LG13g07780 gene or ortholog thereof, wherein the loss of function mutation confers a multiflowering (mf) trait. Also provided are methods of producing and using such plants.

This utility model discloses a device for identifying salt tolerance during the germination period of pumpkin seeds, belonging to the technical field of seed salt tolerance identification equipment. The utility model includes an incubator, with a tray inside the incubator's cavity. A flat support plate is located inside the tray's cavity. A circular hole is formed at the top of the flat support plate, and adjustment components are provided on both sides of the flat support plate. By pulling out the tray, different concentrations of salt solution can be injected into the cavities of the three trays, enabling simultaneous comparative experiments with multiple groups. The circular hole design facilitates the placement of pumpkin seeds, and the salt solution enters through a drainage hole, ensuring full contact between the seeds and the solution. Pulling the sliding frame moves the locking plate out of the locking groove, allowing the flat support plate to be moved up and down to adjust the depth of seed immersion in the salt solution. After adjustment, the sliding frame is pushed back to fix the plate, achieving precise control of the seed immersion depth and providing convenience for studying the effects of different salt concentrations and immersion depths on seed germination.

This invention belongs to the field of molecular marker development for vegetable quality traits and marker-assisted breeding technology, specifically relating to rapid screening for the presence or absence of seed coat in squash and marker-assisted breeding. This invention discloses a KASP molecular marker for detecting the presence or absence of seed coat in squash and its application. This molecular marker, CpSC (Seed coat), is closely linked to the absence of seed coat in squash and can be used for the identification and selection-assisted breeding of seed coat traits in different squash materials and their progeny.
