Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Significant genetic variability was detected in 8 of the 13 evaluated winter squash traits.
- Observation GCA effects predominated for growing degree days to male and female flowering, indicating additive gene action.
- Observation SCA was significant for fruit mass, pulp thickness and transverse diameter of the internal cavity, reflecting non-additive gene effects.
- Observation Specific reciprocal effects were significant for fruit mass (p < 0.05).
- Observation Specific reciprocal effects were significant for longitudinal diameter of the internal cavity (p < 0.01).
- Observation Parents 301 and 516 showed the greatest potential for reducing the crop cycle.
- Association Hybrid combinations involving parent 117, 301 or 516 were consistently superior across traits of interest.
- Recommendation Base populations from crosses 117 × 301, 301 × 516 and 516 × 447 are recommended as foundational material for line extraction and recurrent selection.
