Book Description
The cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae, or gourd family), which include squash, pumpkin, melon, cucumber, and watermelon, have long been of economic significance. As sources of vegetables, fruit, and seeds rich in oils and protein, they have the potential of making an even larger contribution toward meeting the needs of humankind. This book, consisting of 37 papers by 50 cucurbit specialists, emphasizes the practical importance of cucurbit investigation, and also provides a broad overview of the family.

Book Description
This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of the genetics and genomics of the agriculturally important Cucurbitaceae plant family, which includes crops such as watermelon, melon, cucumber, summer and winter squashes, pumpkins, and gourds. Recent years have resulted in tremendous increases in our knowledge of these species due to large scale genomic and transcriptomic studies and production of draft genomes for the four major species, Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo, Cucumis sativus, and Cucurbita spp. This text examines genetic resources and structural and functional genomics for each species group and across species groups. In addition, it explores genomic-informed understanding and commonalities in cucurbit biology with respect to vegetative growth, floral development and sex expression, fruit growth and development, and important fruit quality traits.
XIIth Eucarpia meeting on cucurbit genetics and breeding

Pages : 159
Book Description
Cucurbits include a genetically diverse group of plants and one of the most important and large groups of vegetables growing worldwide, including cucumber, squash, gourd, pumpkin, melon and watermelon. The book of the XII Eucarpia Meeting on Cucurbit Genetics and Breeding, provides the abstracts of the works presented orally or by poster during this virtual meeting. The book will allow the readers to find out the most recent research activities carried out by researchers specialized in these species. The book is divided into chapters corresponding to the sessions celebrated in this meeting. It delivers new information about evolution, diversity and distribution of those species; explores the new genetic resources for characters of agronomical interest and the breeding and cultural methods used to improve their quality and production facing to both biotic and abiotic stresses; provides the cultural requirements for their optimal production and a large number of diseases, viruses and pests affecting their optimal development; finally, introduces a new and relevant topic which is the influence of the abiotic factors (eg. drought, heat, salinity) on their development. Authors have remarkable experience in cucurbits and/or the different topics herein considered which is a guarantee of its interest.
