Cucurbita maxima

Red kuri squash is a cultivated variety of the species Cucurbita maxima.

A cultivar of Cucurbita maxima, it is closely related to the buttercup squash.

The largest pumpkins are Cucurbita maxima.

For example, the seeds of Cucurbita maxima are fried in oil and ground to powder form, mixed with an equal amount of sugar.

It is a member of the species Cucurbita maxima, along with the Hubbard and Buttercup squashes.

Cucurbita maxima (I)

The entire clan of the hard-skinned winter squashes belong to two plant species, Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata.

Cucurbita maxima Duchesne (including variety 'Queensland Blue' et al.)

Giant squash are derived from Cucurbita maxima and are routinely grown to weights nearing those of giant pumpkins.

Many of the best-known winter squashes, like buttercup, a Cucurbita maxima, and butternut, a C. moschata, have no summer cousins.

The same pumpkin ("cucurbita maxima"), is called "ahuyama" in Venezuela, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic.

Cucurbita maxima and Cucurbita moschata, in particular, are well known in the Philippines under the name "kalabasa".

(Note: Although the term "winter squash" is used here to differentiate from "summer squash", it is also commonly used as a synonym for Cucurbita maxima.)

Cucurbita maxima, one of at least five species of cultivated squash, is one of the most diverse domesticated species, perhaps with more cultivated forms than any other crop.

It can refer to a specific variety of the species Cucurbita maxima or Cucurbita moschata, which are all of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae.

For example, researchers at Cornell University used Cucurbita ecuadorensis to breed resistance to papaya ringspot virus, watermelon mosaic virus, and powdery mildew, into common Cucurbita maxima cultivars.

Among horticulturists, botanical classifications are preferred and in the book squashes are divided among Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita argyrosperma.

It commonly refers to cultivars of any one of the species Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita mixta, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata, and is native to North America.

To isolate potential host homologs of the red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) MP, antibodies to this protein were used to screen phloem extracts of Cucurbita maxima, resulting in the detection of a protein designated Cmpp16.
