호박 종간잡종에서 생장점 결여현상의 유전 = Inheritance of Shoot-Lacking Phenomenon in Interspecific Hybrids of Squash

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Squash cultivars of Cucurbita moschata have good fresh quality, but their viny growth habit hinders wide cultivation under structure. On the other hand, 'Zucchini' varieties of C. pepo have bush growth habit and better growth ability under the low temperature condition than C. moschata, but have inferior flesh quality. To combine desirable characteristics of the two species, many attempts have been exerted to obtain interspecific hybrids. A shootless phenomenon was found among segregating populations; the cotyledon expanded normally but further shoot growth. The inheritance of the character was investigated in F₂ and BC₁F₂ populations. The segregation ratios indicated that the shoot-lacking characteristics is expressed by double recessive gene pairs.
