We performed interspecific hybrids of Cucurbita species in order to determine parent characteristics and each combinations.
The results were summarized as follows:
1. When used as the female parent, PM and C. moschata showed a higher fruit set many combinations then the other cultivars. The combinations of C. maxima x PM and C. moschata showed a higher fruit set, but in all reciprocal cross with C. pepo showed lower ability to set fruits than the other cultivars.
2. When only used as the pollen parent, PM and C. moschata produced seeds with a fully developed embryo.
